It was attended by the heads of the central apparatus of the ministry, heads of system organizations and professional educational institutions.

At the meeting it was noted that, despite the special attention paid to the development of the field of vocational education, the majority of directors of educational institutions and employees of regional administrations approach their responsibilities with laziness. Some principals and deputy principals have been criticized for not working on themselves, despite having been in leadership positions for many years, and for not showing enthusiasm and initiative in developing the system, introducing new ideas and ensuring the quality of education.

As noted at the meeting, in January-February of this year, a working group of the ministry studied the situation in 179 professional educational institutions in the regions. It was noted that the state of effective use of the existing capacities of educational institutions is not at the proper level due to the fact that the heads of vocational educational institutions where the study was conducted did not organize the work properly.

25 educational institutions did not fulfill plans for the 2023/2024 academic year by 70%. 163 non-specialist teachers were allocated teaching hours by the heads of the educational institutions studied.

- How can a non-specialist teacher teach students this subject and improve the quality of education without having sufficient knowledge and skills in the subject being taught? - said K. Sharipov.

Adequate measures were taken against a number of managers who made these mistakes and shortcomings, knowing about the existing shortcomings and turning a blind eye to them, instead of eliminating them. In particular, 5 directors and 48 deputy directors were dismissed, and 265 directors and deputy directors were brought to disciplinary liability.

Issues of ensuring employment for graduates, establishing cooperation between vocational education and employers, and improving the quality of education were also discussed at the meeting.

“We can prepare our youth for modern professions and raise the quality of education to a new level by ensuring integration with wider involvement of employer enterprises, beneficial aspects of dual education for employers and enterprises, as well as introducing foreign experience into the system,” he said. minister

At the end of the meeting, in order to solve existing problems in educational institutions not included in the study and provide them with methodological assistance, those responsible for a comprehensive study of the remaining educational institutions were given the task.
