In recent years, our country has paid special attention to the development of science and education. This is reflected in Presidential Decrees dated April 20, 2017 No. PD-2909 “On measures for the further development of the higher education system”, dated June 5, 2018 No. PD-3775 “On additional measures to improve the quality of education in higher educational institutions and ensure their active participation in the large-scale reforms ongoing in the country.” In order to ensure the implementation of these resolutions, Karakalpak State University carries out educational, methodological, research work and exchange of experience on the basis of a Memorandum of Cooperation with foreign countries.
