Узбекскими школами сегодня руководит бизнес - директор WIST

Uzbekistan has seen a boom in private schools in recent years. But how can we tell which ones are truly good and which are just slick marketing ploys? In this episode, we spoke with Muhammadali Khakimzhanov, director of Westminster International School in Tashkent, about who's opening private schools these days and, most importantly, why. And how do private schools really differ from public schools—beyond the fancy renovations and expensive advertising? Artificial intelligence, clip-based thinking, gadget addiction, and a reluctance to read are the global problems facing today's graduates. But who's responsible? And if everyone wants to become a businessperson or blogger these days, who will raise the next generation? This episode is a quotable collection of stories about schools with strict rules and discipline, the risk of missing a generation, and parents' responsibility for their children's education.
