TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, September 18. The International Chodiev Foundation (ICF) has announced the completion of construction and the opening of a new educational block at Secondary School No. 23 in the Khiva district of Uzbekistan’s Khorezm region, the ICF told Trend.
The project was jointly implemented with the Ministry of Preschool and School Education of Uzbekistan.
Furthermore, the new school will help address the current issue of overcrowding in schools and the lack of available spaces in the Khiva district. It will create 270 new places for children, enabling them to study in comfortable and spacious rooms equipped with modern facilities.
The new educational block is a three-story building that includes nine classrooms, a science class facility, a teachers' room, an administration room, a medical center, toilets, and a library. The building, totaling 537 m², has modern, high-quality equipment. The block was constructed on a free area of the school territory and is connected to the existing school building through a ground-level covered passage.
"We are delighted to support Uzbekistan’s efforts to develop education and assist in the effort to improve the future of the children of the country. We believe that good education can change lives. For many years, the ICF’s activities have been focused on nurturing the potential of the next generation,” the ICF’s founder, Patokh Chodiev, said.
The construction project is part of a comprehensive educational program implemented by the ICF in Uzbekistan in support of the State Programme for the Development of School Education in 2022-2026. Apart from that, the relevant ICF projects include the sponsorship of two rural residential care schools, a boarding school, and a preschool education facility, as well as several student scholarship programs.
