Opportunities Created to Provide Students with Accommodation Presented to Journalists

On August 22, ahead of the new academic year, a press tour was organized to familiarize media representatives with the work being carried out to provide students with accommodation.

During the press tour, journalists, bloggers, and media representatives visited Uzbekistan State University of World Languages from Tashkent State University of Economics and learned about the activities of the headquarters established to provide students with accommodation, the existing student dormitories, and the facilities and conditions created there.

Rector of Uzbekistan State University of World Languages, Professor Ilkhomjon Tukhtasinov, provided the press tour participants with detailed information about the university’s ongoing efforts to provide students with accommodation, the available opportunities, and preparations for the new academic year.

Media representatives were also shown the student dormitories under the university’s management, dormitories operating under public-private partnership arrangements, and the living conditions created for students.

During the visit, the participants inspected residential rooms, sanitary and hygienic facilities, engineering and utility systems, safety measures, and other amenities provided for students.
