TUESDAY, tuesday, tuesdaaaaaayyy

Today is Teachers’ Day. A public holiday in Uzbekistan. This holiday is dedicated to honor the efforts of those who teach and educate in Uzbekistan.

Annually the Day of Teachers and Instructors is a surprisingly solemnly celebration in Uzbekistan. This is due to a tradition of deep respect for teachers that has been established in the territory over the centuries. In the 7th century the Chinese scientists and explorer, Suan Tsan, wrote that he saw five-year-old boys in Samarkand being taught how to read, write and count.

Today Uzbekistan ranks highly among the most developed countries, with an education index of 0.92, compared to the world average of 0.77.  The education of children and youth remains one of the main priorities of the government. The education law was one of the first laws adopted in June 1992, after independence from the Soviet Union.
