From classrooms to communities: Young Singaporeans build ties in Uzbekistan
Singaporeans working in education in Uzbekistan are sharing their expertise – and learning from their hosts – as ties between the two countries deepen.
Amirbek Baxshilloyev, a 17-year-old Uzbekistani from the ancient city of Bukhara, pursued his passion for goldwork embroidery rooted in the Silk Road heritage. Now studying engineering physics at Stanford University, Amirbek credits an education centre in Tashkent, led by Singaporean Nigel Li, for equipping him with essential skills.
Li, 27, believes many Uzbek students possess ambition but lack resources. His academy develops critical thinking and writing skills, and connects students with international opportunities. Singapore sees value in sharing its nation-building expertise with Uzbekistan's rapidly growing youth population.
