The Ministry of Public Education, in partnership with the US Embassy in Tashkent and the American Councils for International Education, conducted the Trainer Training Institute training from September 20 to October 2.

The training was attended by more than 200 key trainers and the most qualified regional mentors. The trainings were conducted by 7 TESOL instructors, 4 instructors from George Mason University, and 7 American trainers from the ESN: Coaches Program.

The official closing ceremony was held on October 2 at the Daniel Hill Hotel, where certificates were awarded to teachers who successfully completed the TESOL Core Certificate Program and George Mason University's Teaching English Through English course.

Earlier, in June-July, the Ministry of Public Education's TESOL Core Certificate Program (TESOL Certification Program) was implemented for 266 English teachers across the country as part of the English Speaking Nation program. These programs represent intensive training courses for English teachers. Teachers now have 20 hours of practical observation.

The English Speaking Nation program aims to improve the skills of more than 15,000 teachers in the public education system. For this purpose, 91 main trainers have been selected, who are organizing courses for 850 regional professional mentors with the help of foreign experts.

Given the breadth of the program, it is planned that more than 15,000 teachers will be trained in the field.
