The governor toured classrooms and training workshops fitted with modern equipment and spoke with students, who shared their achievements and plans for the future. Particular recognition went to Nodirbek Mirkhujayev, a student who learned a foreign language and gained admission to a university in England ranked among the world’s top 100 higher education institutions. Khayrullo Bozorov stressed that education, proficiency in foreign languages and a solid grounding in a modern trade help young people find their place in life.
The college currently has 1,065 students. Of these, 300 are enrolled in three areas of study under an international education programme launched in partnership with the UK company Pearson. The BTEC programme combines classroom instruction with practical training. To date, 72 students have earned certificates confirming their level of English proficiency.
The college admitted 736 students who had completed Grade 9 to train as computer graphics and design operators, electricians, welders or metalworkers.

To give students hands-on workplace experience, the college has established a dual education programme in partnership with Ferganaazot JSC, the Fergana Regional Electricity Networks Enterprise, and the pumping station and energy departments of the Syrdarya–Sokh Basin Administration of Irrigation Systems. This training improves graduates’ chances of finding work in their chosen fields in Uzbekistan and abroad.
The college has also opened a language examination centre that uses Germany’s telc system. Students and other candidates will be able to take exams at the centre and have their foreign language proficiency assessed against international criteria.
By learning modern trades and studying English and German at the college, young people gain opportunities to work in developed countries.
The Youth Affairs Department announced that it is working with the Fergana City Administration to set up foreign language and vocational training courses for young people at the college and help them find employment in European countries.
The governor instructed officials to use the college’s resources to enrol more young people in international education programmes and help them secure well-paid jobs.
The governor also observed practical training in the college’s workshops.
