A school branch has started operating in the village of Yaylov in Navoiy, where 3 students are currently studying

On September 3, 2026, a long-awaited school branch opened in the village of Yaylov (also called Jaylov by locals), located between the Khatirchi and Nurota districts of the Navoiy region, where more than 60 households reside. This is a branch of School No. 52 in the district.

In addition to the entrance area, the institution consists of 1 room and is designed for 14 seats. Currently, 3 students are studying there — one in the first grade and two in the third grade. They are taught all subjects, including Russian and English, by 3 teachers.

The essence of the matter is that although Yaylov is shown on the map as being in the Nurota district, its residents are considered to be from Khatirchi. Until now, residents say that whichever district administration they went to with their problems, they would hear answers like "The place you live in belongs to Nurota" or "You are registered in Khatirchi."

Gazeta correspondent Otabek Turdiyev visited this very village of Yaylov in November 2025 and prepared a report. It spoke about the poor condition of the road leading to the village, and the lack of gas, electricity, and a school (there is still no gas and electricity there, people use solar panels instead — ed.).

As soon as the report was published, the khokim of Khatirchi, Umidjon Adizov, visited Yaylov and promised that a school would be built there. Accordingly, the school was supposed to be built and commissioned by the end of 2025.

However, the expected school opened almost a year later.

Until then, the students studied at the home of Bahriddin Mustafoyev, a teacher in the same village. Mustafoyev told Gazeta that because it was difficult to conduct classes in the old school built in the 90s, especially during winter days, he provided space for the village children in his own home. Now, the teacher himself travels 3-4 km every day to the new school.

To provide the school with electricity, 5-kilowatt solar panels have been installed, and one computer is also working inside for the children. A sewing machine was provided for the village women to learn sewing. Additionally, 100 fiction books were presented for the school library.

According to Bahriddin Mustafoyev, the school is still far for other primary school children in Yaylov.

Furthermore, their parents prefer to educate their children in specialized schools in the Nurota district. Also, about 15 upper-grade students study in boarding schools in other places.
