Sanjar Mirzaliyev, Deputy Minister of Education and Science, visited Bukhara State University to review the university's efforts to enhance educational quality, digitalise academic processes, advance research and innovation, and provide modern learning and working conditions for students and academic staff.
The visit began with an inspection of the digitalised Registrar's Office, which provides students with 60 types of services through a one-stop service model. The Deputy Minister also reviewed the operations of the centralised Situation Centre, which enables real-time observation and monitoring of classroom activities and the educational process.
He subsequently toured the university's new, modern academic building with a capacity of 2,700 students, examining the facilities and equipment available in its classrooms, the conditions established for effective teaching and learning, and opportunities to integrate contemporary educational technologies into academic activities.
A major focus of the visit was the university's infrastructure dedicated to the development of robotics and artificial intelligence. In particular, the Deputy Minister inspected the “Robots and Me” Robotics Centre and the building of the Academy of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Special attention was given to the opportunities being created for young people to master emerging technologies, develop engineering thinking, and acquire practical skills in programming, robotics and artificial intelligence.
The Deputy Minister also conducted a comprehensive review of the university's Information Resource Centre. The visit covered its collection of academic and research publications, the availability of textbooks and teaching materials for students, access to information resources, and the facilities provided to support independent learning.
