The final stage of the Erkin Vohidov “E voh” Uzbek Language and Literature Olympiad is being held at the Nordic International University.
For the first time, the “E voh” Olympiad has been organized in honor of October 21 — Uzbek Language Day, bringing together 10,507 teachers from across the republic.
The top 79 winners of the first stage have arrived to participate in the final round.
This Olympiad has become a true example of devotion and love for the Uzbek language. Teachers from all over the country — passionate about knowledge, eager to instill the beauty of their mother tongue in the hearts of the young generation, and open to innovation — are proudly taking part in this event.
At the opening, Professor Sherzod Mustafakulov, Rector of Nordic University, emphasized that this scholarly and educational initiative is not only a test of professional knowledge and competence, but also a significant platform that strengthens national pride and love for the mother tongue. He noted that the teachers’ participation today is more than just a competition — it is also a valuable contribution to the development of science and education in our country. All participants were wished success, great results, and bright victories.
The contestants were introduced to the Olympiad’s rules and evaluation criteria, and their essay-writing skills are being tested.
After the tests, participants will take part in academic discussions, visit the Alley of Scholars, and enjoy cultural and literary meetings as well as a festival dedicated to Uzbek Language Day at the Green Hills Resort mountain complex.
In the Olympiad, 1 gold, 3 silver, and 5 bronze medalists will be announced. Winners will also receive cash prizes, souvenirs, and international training opportunities in Finland and Sweden, which will be awarded in a ceremonial event.
