Since Khiva-born Al-Khawarizmi, 'the grandfather of computer science,' gave the world algebra, Uzbeks have made an outsized contribution to humanity's collective understanding of the world and the scientific principles underpinning it. This is a culture in which education and intellectual inquiry are highly valued.
With 40% of the population under the age of 19, and 30% even younger than 14, Uzbekistan is a young country, full of the dynamism and energy of youth.

"From science and math to art, literature, and music, Uzbeks inherit a legacy of great achievement, and we are determined to enrich the 21st century just as we have enriched so many other periods in history.
