In accordance with Presidential Decree No. PQ-128 of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated April 20, 2023, tasks were outlined to conduct analytical and practical research aimed at the development of the education sector, as well as to analyze and improve the effectiveness of state education standards, curricula, and textbooks by developing appropriate recommendations.
Based on these objectives, the Republican Olympiad for Gifted Children – IBRO–2025 was organized to increase students’ interest in STEM subjects, identify and encourage talented students of general secondary, secondary specialized, and primary vocational education institutions. The Olympiad was initiated in cooperation with the Republican Scientific and Methodological Center for the Development of Education, the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, and the Center for Subject Olympiads under the Agency for Specialized Educational Institutions.
In particular, on June 29 of this year, the final stage of the IBRO–2025 Olympiad and the award ceremony for the winners of the Academic Sadullayev Olympiad – SIMO–2025 was held with the support of the Republican Scientific and Methodological Center for the Development of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education, and the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent.
