Teachers’ Study Tour: Learning New Ideas for Uzbekistan from Sweden’s Education System
At the beginning of the visit, the delegation was warmly welcomed by Principal Laura Erdtman and her team at Fågelsångens School. During the meeting, participants learned about the school’s pedagogical innovations and development practices, educational processes, and modern teaching methods. They also toured the classrooms and observed the learning environment created for students.
During the visit to the Salem Library, the delegation familiarized themselves with the services provided to students, the book collection, and the library’s experience in promoting reading among children.
At the Centrum för flerspråkighet (Center for Multilingualism), they studied Sweden’s education system and its practices in supporting multilingualism.
Uzbek teachers also shared their own educational experiences and innovations, actively engaging in discussions and Q&A sessions. They learned about the harmony between theory and practice in Swedish education, teacher collaboration, inclusion, sustainable development, and the emphasis on developing independent analytical skills.
The visit served to strengthen bilateral cooperation, promote professional development through international experience, and lay the groundwork for future joint projects. Sweden’s educational experience offers valuable inspiration for Uzbekistan’s schools in areas such as innovative teaching approaches, lesson design, multilingual education, environmental awareness, creative thinking, and student development. As one of the initiatives of the “New Uzbekistan” project, such educational exchanges and opportunities create a foundation for nurturing the younger generation as leaders and key contributors to society.
