A draft resolution on the matter has been published for public discussion, which will continue until November 3.
Under the proposal, universities would appoint senior prevention inspectors and inspectors responsible for women’s issues, while private schools and colleges would employ inspector-psychologists specializing in juvenile affairs. These positions are expected to be funded from the educational institutions’ own budgets.
The inspectors would work closely with school and university administrations, teachers, psychologists, parents, and representatives of local mahallas (neighbourhood communities). Their responsibilities would include preventing violence and offences, combating bullying and drug use, and countering the spread of extremist ideas.
Schools are also expected to organize preventive operations called “Davomat,” “O‘quvchi,” “O‘smir,” and “Tungi tekshiruv.” These initiatives aim to monitor attendance, identify minors who skip classes, and detect teenagers visiting nighttime entertainment venues without adult supervision.
Particular attention would be paid to students’ psychological well-being, conflict resolution, and the identification of cases of violence. In universities, the proposal also calls for an annual “Student Safety Month” to be held from September 10 to October 10.
The draft further includes measures to improve security at higher education institutions and prevent prohibited items and substances from being brought onto campus.
The proposed measures have not yet been adopted and may be revised following the public consultation process.
