  INTRODUCTION

Due to the increasing role of information technologies in the life of society in Uzbekistan, rapid informatization and computerization of the education sector is being observed. Advanced systems and innovative technologies aimed at raising the quality of education to a new level are being actively introduced.

The Smart Education social project, created in cooperation with the Center for Vocational Education, is the newest system for assessing the level of mastery for educational institutions. Created for teachers and administrators, this tool is an innovative development aimed at simplifying daily paperwork. The system allows to increase the transparency of the educational process by automating the educational process and related document circulation, informing parents. Today, more than 400 colleges and lyceums are connected to the Smart Education system throughout Uzbekistan in test mode.

According to the results of the 2016-2017 academic year, the first place in the rating of colleges and lyceums actively implementing the Smart Education system in the educational process was taken by the Chirchik Academic Lyceum under the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology.

The head of the Lyceum of the Smart Education project, K.A. Roziyev and computer science teacher B.A. Akhmedov for his active cooperation and demonstrated organizational initiative.

Sehriyo School, 5th Academic Lyceum under Tashkent State Technical University, Republican Olympic Reserve College, Zangiota Academic Lyceum are actively participating in the implementation and development of the Smart Education system.

METHODOLOGY

Smart education implies a large number of sources, the maximum variety of multimedia (audio, video, graphics), the ability to quickly and easily adapt to the demands and needs of the audience [2]. This is a completely new educational environment in which educational activities are carried out on the Internet based on common standards, technologies and agreements between a network of educational institutions, and common content is used. A distinctive feature of this type of education is the convenience for all sections of the population, regardless of the place of residence and financial situation, that is, the opportunity to receive education “everywhere” [3].

According to Z. K. Bekturova, N. N. Vagapova, a number of important factors are necessary to create a smart educational environment. They include: learning through innovative methods using new knowledge and technologies; convergence of technologies, optimization of educational conditions; includes such things as automatic adaptation to individual learning goals, existing knowledge and skills, and social environment [3].

A smart environment for students is an individual educational environment for each student, practical orientation, independence in the development of knowledge, skills and abilities – all factors that allow successful adaptation to the social environment; smart, interdisciplinary, student-oriented educational systems of continuous education (school, university, corporate training); customized training programs, portfolio; collaborative learning technologies; automation of a large number of routine functions; can be expressed by involving practitioners in the educational process

ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

With the emergence of the concept of “smart” concepts such as smart/interactive-board (writing board), smart-screens, and access to the Internet from anywhere have entered the education system. Each of these concepts allows us to restructure the process of information content development, delivery, and implementation [4].

It is impossible to implement the concept of smart education without the accumulated experience of electronic education (e-learning). At the core of the smart-education process are the achievements of information technologies, electronic and distance education, valuable experiences gained over the years. The main task of smart-education technologies is to create conditions for students and teachers to achieve new efficiency in the educational process. Application of this type of educational technology requires a comprehensive approach. The development of the concept of smart education is the development of a new technological paradigm in the world.

We won't see each other for three months.
Remember, my friend.
I know you are kind
Do not forget, classmate.


I sure miss it now
I play with the picture.
It was you, my friend.
Do not forget, classmate.

Or write messages.
There is a merging class,
Do not forget, classmate.

You are the sun of that heart,
A loving embrace.
You gave me patience,
Do not forget, classmate.

Essay from Perizyat Azerbayeva

Water is a key source of life

Azerbaeva Perizat Bayrambay qizi- a student of school number 49

Annotation- this article discusses about the shortage of water, along with its repercussions and methods to prevent it.

Keywords – natural resource, environment, new technologies, water shortage, drip irrigation.

Water is the source of life, because there is no life without water. Water is life, which has had an incomparable influence on the evolution of livelihoods, environment, and climate changes for millions of years. It should be noted that the demand and need for water is increasing more than ever. As a result, there is a water shortage all over the world.

Water is:

: composition of 55-65% (up to 80% in children) of the human body

: one of the most used and diminishing resources on our planet

: One of the factors that cause interstate threats and wars in the 21st century

: although it covers more than 70% of the land, only 3% of it is suitable for drinking.

: one of the causes of climate migration and the increase of immigrants around the world

 A person without water can live up to 1 week at most. In 2023, 2 billion people, that is, a quarter of the world’s population, will be without clean drinking water, and in the next 10 years, 700 million people, that is, we will join them [1]. So, as written above, the topic is relevant, it needs to be written and read!

“It is necessary to form a collective understanding about the economical use of water. In order not to provoke an environmental virus that leads to economic and political pathology,” said Bori Olikhanov, chairman of the Committee on Development of the Aral Bay Region of the Oliy Majlis.¾ of the world is water. Can’t we turn it into drinking water? Yes, but this is a very expensive process. 

 According to the standards of the World Health Organization, one person needs 50-100 liters of water per day. In rural areas of Africa, a person consumes 10-20 liters of water per day, which is significantly lower than usual. Saudi Arabia is the leading country in drinking water consumption (500 liters of water per person per day) [1].

The main part of fresh water, i.e. 40%, is groundwater. Extracting them is, firstly, expensive, secondly, labor-intensive, and thirdly, a temporary solution that runs out and eventually dries up underground wells and leads to a water crisis.Although rivers and dams are important for water supply, they only contain about 1% of fresh water. alternating with snow.Fresh water extraction from icebergs and glaciers is also discussed. But it is not known what consequences such projects will have on the ecology of our planet, apart from the fact that it is not technically feasible at the moment.According to experts’ calculations, by 2050, water resources are expected to decrease by 5% in the Sirdarya basin and 15% in the Amudarya basin [2], and the demand for water will increase by 50%. Today, about 2 billion people on earth need clean drinking water, and more than 2 billion 300 million people are forced to consume food that does not meet sanitary requirements.

On February 8 of this year, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on improving drinking water supply in the regions. The main focus was on providing the population with clean drinking water.After the order of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on December 27, 2018, “On urgent measures to create favorable conditions for the widespread use of drip irrigation technology in the cultivation of cotton raw materials”, positive projects will be implemented to prevent water wastage. started [3].The water-related problems of the Central Asian countries were discussed in Tashkent: on January 18, a roundtable discussion was held in the capital of Uzbekistan on the topic “Problems and prospects of effective use of water resources of Russia and Central Asia.”

According to the forecasts of the World Bank, the lack of clean drinking water in Central Asia will cause the GDP to decrease by 11%. 80-90% of water resources in the region are used in agriculture. The total area of irrigated land in the region is 7.695 million, and in Uzbekistan it is 4.2 million [4].It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of a shortage of a strategically important resource. This means a threat to the production of agricultural products, a decrease in the volume of exports, and a deterioration in the quality of life of the population engaged in agriculture.What is the solution to the problem?

“Drip irrigation systems. The system is being installed, but it is necessary to expand its coverage. We need to create a system to encourage farmers to introduce drip irrigation, as well as increase water tariffs,” says the director of the “Ma’no” research center. Bakhtiyar Ergashev [4].Director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Research, Dr. Alexey Zubes, believes that Russia can help in these matters [4].

Another important recognition is that Uzbekistan ranks first in Central Asia, second among the CIS countries, fourth in Asia and 13th in the world in terms of introducing water-saving technologies [2].

In conclusion, water scarcity is a global problem of the century, so all the countries of the world should fight it together, help each other, and the population should follow the culture of using water. Because as the water problem grows in a place, the hope of life in that place fades away. If this problem is not prevented, living creatures will be forced to migrate to wetlands.

In my opinion, we need to prevent this problem from becoming bigger like the “Island problem” as soon as possible, and I think that the people of the world should understand that the natural resource will end one day and use it sparingly for the sake of future generations.

City of Samarkand, steps and domes and gates with blue stones.
Samarkand By Jama sadikov – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=82671171

Samarkand is a tourism center

Samarkand – an honorable past with a great future, can be called one of the greatest masterpieces not only of Central Asia, but also of the world. Even if the world’s greatest poets and philosophers called it the garden of the heart, the jewel of the East, the mirror of the world, and even the face of the earth, they would not have been able to describe all the beauty and wealth of this beautiful city.

This city has given birth to many great people in its bosom, raised them and is still keeping them in its bosom. The cultural heritage of Samarkand is very great. This city, which has been the center of various countries for centuries, has been the main center of the Great Silk Road. The great world-lover Amir Temur chose this city as the capital of his kingdom and developed the city as a political, cultural and educational center. Thousands of madrasahs, mosques, and gardens were built in Samarkand during the Timurid period. Over the years, the madrasahs he built have not lost their strength.

During the years of independence, reconstruction works were carried out throughout the city in order to increase the touristic character of Samarkand. At the beginning of the 21st century, the city was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name “Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures”! Today, the most visible places of the city are Registan ensemble, Shahi Zinda, Gori Amir complex and others. More than five million tourists from all over the world visit the city every year to enjoy its beauty.

In recent years, as a result of the work carried out by the government to develop tourism in the country, the tourist center of Samarkand was built in the city. Four-five-star hotels, conference halls, entertainment centers, and an eternal city were built there. Journalists of the prestigious European publication note that the opening of the Silk Road Samarkand complex will increase the flow of tourists to Uzbekistan. With the attention of our state, the city is becoming more beautiful year by year, which leads to rapid growth of domestic and foreign tourism. The growth of tourism also affects the development of economic and social spheres in Samarkand.

Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Fall 

A partly frisky fall, a lonely jump
Across the plane
A watershed benchmark
Full of throttled wishes 
The macabre knew what to do with anxiety
Your face a full flanked rose garden
Tattooed in Australia, knows what to do
Coming over a backfired cameo at the end 
Why is that blue flower so small? 
I floated friskly at the fall garden
Silencing the primary force
For all at once I swamed a whole gypsy plane.
