My dear children! Dear teachers and mentors! Respected parents! I sincerely congratulate all of you on Knowledge Day, which is being celebrated in harmony with the glorious 35th anniversary of the independence of our Motherland. On this joyful occasion, I extend my best wishes to nearly 800,000 boys and girls who are stepping across the threshold of their schools with pure, bright eyes full of wonder and excitement and with great dreams and aspirations, as well as to parents and the entire pedagogical community. May the new academic year be a year of new educational achievements throughout our country's entire education system and in the life of our schools, lyceums, technical colleges, and higher education institutions! Dear participants of the celebration! We can all see that, thanks to the large-scale reforms being carried out in the field of education and upbringing in recent years, the schools of New Uzbekistan are taking on an entirely new appearance, while the quality of education continues to improve. Growing up and developing in such an environment, our boys and girls who are already making their parents and teachers proud with their first achievements in education, vocational training, IT, creative pursuits, sports, and community activities are our bright future and our golden fund. In the image of these knowledgeable, intelligent, hardworking, and ambitious young people, whose ranks are growing year by year, we see the seedlings of the Third Renaissance. It is our sacred duty to nurture each of them into a mighty tree that will flourish and become a pillar of our bright future. There is no doubt that we will continue to give priority to the development of education and upbringing, which serves as a strong foundation for achieving such noble goals. We will create all the necessary conditions so that our children, who embark on the journey into adult life from school, graduate not only with solid knowledge but also with at least one modern profession. To this end, we will establish “Vocational Towns” in the regions, involving modern practices and highly qualified specialists. My dear children, the key that opens the doors to a happy and prosperous life, the solution to the difficult questions that may arise along your life journey, and the guarantee of overcoming trials and hardships are only knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge. Cherish every moment of your beautiful youth. Strive to master new knowledge, ideas and innovations, professions and skills, as well as the foundations of our native language, rich history, and culture. Study world history and foreign languages diligently as well. Never stop learning, searching, and striving forward. Love with all your heart and soul the sacred land inherited from our ancestors, and live with boundless devotion to our people and our Motherland! Along this path, consider your caring teachers and parents your closest friends and advisers. I wish you to begin the new academic year with excellent grades and successfully complete every academic term. May you be blessed with good health, success, and achievement. Happy Knowledge Day to all of you, my dear children!
