"We want you to develop your skills, receive a quality education and further adapt in a barrier-free society,” Ziroat Mirziyoyeva said to the students.

This year, eight more specialized schools will receive similar equipment, and by the end of 2022, they are planned to be transferred to all boarding schools in the country.

Students will be able to use two FM devices. At the same time, specialists diagnose the hearing of children and set up devices for each of them individually.
