Mirziyoyev clarified that in Uzbekistan there are only 36 state technical universities and that they are mainly engaged in fundamental research, but they do not put their economic advances into practice.
Therefore, almost all new companies and projects of the latest engineering advances remain only on paper. This is to some extent due to the fact that modern young people are not interested in engineering or technical specialties, the president noted.
Furthermore, university professors and professors are not in touch with practice. The management of universities does not know new technologies, equipment and machines and does not visit enterprises, which makes it difficult to apply the latest developments in production, Mirziyoyev believes.
