This project became another important step in expanding digital education in Uzbekistan and guiding the younger generation toward modern IT professions.

The IT Education Association expresses its gratitude to project partners — the Stirling Foundation (USA) and Utah Valley University professors Dr. Vessela Ilieva and Dr. Mia Kang.

The "Cyber Summer Camp – 2025," aimed at developing digital education and IT potential in Uzbekistan, has officially begun.

Cyber Summer Camp is a two-week intensive training program for mentors and school students working within the "Muhammad al-Khwarizmi’s Heirs" system.

The project involves nearly 150 IT and IT English language mentors, as well as more than 50 ninth- and tenth-grade students, with the goal of improving language proficiency from A2 to B1–B2 levels, and providing eleventh-grade students with practical IT experience.

Within the camp, opportunities for IT education will be created for youth from Khorezm and Karakalpakstan. It will also serve as a platform that combines practice and innovation, where participants will gain in-depth knowledge and skills in the most relevant areas of modern information technology, such as:

• Cybersecurity • DevOps • Back-end and Front-end development • Data analysis • IT English

On July 21, Uzbekistan hosted the Forum on the Development of IT and Digital Education to promote digital literacy, advance IT education, and enhance preparation for future professions.

The forum featured discussions on the most pressing issues in the sector and the presentation of new research findings.

The event was dedicated to the outcomes of the project “Improving Uzbekistan’s IT and Digital Education Landscape: Research Phase”, which is part of a broader initiative to develop the country’s digital education and IT workforce.
