The Bukhara regional prosecutor’s office, the Nordic International University, and the IDC education center held a ceremony to honor the winners of the “Prosecutor’s Prize-II” Olympiad.
This Olympiad was held for the second time at a high level among teachers in the region as part of the tasks set out in the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the Strategy of Uzbekistan-2030” and the decision on “Measures to Improve the Quality of Education in the Field of Mathematics and Develop Scientific Research”.
This time, not only mathematics but also physics teachers were included in the competition.
The Olympiad focused on identifying and encouraging talented and professional teachers who apply advanced methods and new pedagogical technologies in the teaching process, increasing students’ interest in exact sciences.
A total of 2372 mathematics and physics teachers from 13 city-district schools of Bukhara region tested their knowledge and skills. 98 of the most experienced teachers who achieved high results in the first stage competed in the final round.
The competition was held transparently under the supervision of the Olympiad coordinators, supervisors, judges, and officials from the Bukhara regional prosecutor’s office. The teachers’ knowledge, creativity, and ability to apply skills in practical tasks were assessed impartially.
During the award ceremony, attended by Bukhara regional governor Botir Zaripov, regional prosecutor Ulugbek Khamdamov, and regional activists, special respect was shown to the teachers who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the Bukhara regional stage of the Olympiad.
The winners in mathematics were Abdurashidbek Qo‘chqorov, Ismoil Po‘lotov, Behruz Avezov, and Asadbek Nurmurodov, and the winners in physics – Vohid Fayziyev, Umidjon Isomov, and Shahnoza Allamurodova. They were awarded certificates, the Prosecutor’s Prize, and commemorative gifts.
Abdurashidbek Qo‘chqorov and Vohid Fayziyev, who took 1st place, received internship invitations to Finland and Sweden, supported by the Nordic International University, to study foreign experiences. It is planned that through these mentors, international advanced practices will be introduced and promoted in the regional education system.
The Olympiad is traditionally held every year to improve the quality and effectiveness of education in the Bukhara region, identifying skilled teachers who provide students with solid mathematical knowledge and help them succeed in prestigious competitions at the national and international levels.
Plans are in place to improve the system of holding subject Olympiads among teachers, identify and encourage the best teachers in exact sciences such as mathematics and physics, and implement a ranking system. It is considered advisable to introduce this noble initiative from the Bukhara region to all other regions.

Youth, Peace, and Security: Central Asian Youth at the Negotiating Table
Launched on April 27, this prestigious event has brought together 25 outstanding young participants selected from four Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Within the framework of this initiative, participants are testing their knowledge and skills through a diplomatic simulation—an interactive process closely mirroring real-life international negotiations. Assuming the roles of diplomats, they articulate positions on global security issues, draft resolutions, and seek pathways to consensus. This process not only reinforces their theoretical understanding but also cultivates critical competencies such as analytical thinking, negotiation, communication, and decision-making.
Particularly noteworthy are the discussions held under the United Nations agenda on “Youth, Peace, and Security,” which further enhance the relevance of the event. This, in turn, highlights Uzbekistan’s proactive stance in advancing youth diplomacy.
The five-day program is structured to integrate theory with practice in a gradual and systematic manner. According to the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan, Ambassador Antti Karttunen,
“Participation in the Model OSCE program provides young people with practical experience in diplomacy and negotiations, while also deepening their understanding of how international organizations operate. By bringing together participants from across Central Asia, this initiative strengthens regional cooperation and supports youth engagement in addressing shared security challenges.”
Throughout the program, participants gain insight into the work of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, engage in discussions on pressing security issues, explore the role of youth in decision-making, and analyze the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security.
A strong emphasis is placed on experiential learning. Through interactive sessions, participants engage in multilateral negotiations on key topics. Particular attention is given to gender equality, inclusive participation, and the vital role of youth in promoting peace and security.
