In Namangan, Cooperation with Japan in the Field of Education is Expanding
In the Namangan region, the expansion of cooperation with Japanese educational organizations continues as part of the gradual testing of the Japanese education model. This was reported by the information service of the khokimiyat of the Namangan region.
The pilot projects are aimed at improving the quality of education, developing modern skills in students, and introducing foreign experience into the educational process.
Currently, 17 general education schools and 18 preschool education organizations are involved in the initiative. Certain elements of the Japanese education system are being introduced in them. Japanese specialist Goto Mikako, who has significant experience in this field, is also involved in the project.
The new stage of cooperation is linked to the participation of KEI Advanced, an educational company that is part of the Japanese Kawaijuku Group. The company is engaged in assessing the quality of education, developing testing systems, professional development of teachers, and disseminating Japanese educational experience abroad.
Nobuaki Kimura, manager of KEI Advanced and one of the company's key partner organizations in Uzbekistan — Nippon Global Education and Assessment (NGEA) — arrived in Namangan. The representatives of the Japanese side were received by the khokim of the Namangan region, Shavkatjon Abdurazzakov.
At the beginning of the meeting, the head of the region thanked Goto Mikako for her work in implementing educational initiatives in the region.
Nobuaki Kimura spoke about the activities of NGEA, which was established in Tashkent in 2023. The parties also discussed the company's experience gained during the implementation of projects in Uzbekistan.
In particular, in 2021–2023, within the framework of the JICA project, Japanese approaches to assessing knowledge and teaching mathematics were tested in 40 schools across 14 regions of the country.
During the negotiations, the participants identified further areas of cooperation in the Namangan region.
Following the meeting, a memorandum was signed, establishing a general framework for non-commercial negotiations on a modern holistic model of education, information exchange, studying potential areas of interaction, and preparing for subsequent cooperation.
