Caring for the younger generation and striving to nurture a healthy, well-rounded individual are among the distinctive features of the Uzbek national character. Therefore, spiritual and educational work is considered one of the most important areas of activity of the Department of Social and Humanitarian Sciences. This work is carried out on a regular basis according to an approved plan, coordinated and organized by the responsible lecturer, T. Anvarov.
The faculty members of the department carry out the following activities among students:
- familiarizing students with the works and speeches of President Sh. M. Mirziyoyev, as well as decrees and resolutions of the Oliy Majlis and the Cabinet of Ministers; conducting spiritual and educational events aimed at nurturing a well-rounded generation, and developing the universal, national, and spiritual worldview of young people;
- supporting the successful implementation and development of constructive reforms in the Republic;
- fostering the philosophy of a healthy lifestyle among students;
- raising students’ political and legal awareness;
- providing timely information to students about social, political, and cultural events happening in the country and the world;
- creating a healthy spiritual environment among students;
- organizing students’ leisure activities in accordance with the focus and specialization of the institution, and setting up various clubs and circles.
Main areas of activity of the department:

Mirziyoyev, his speeches in newspapers, decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers, materials from Oliy Majlis sessions, and adopted laws and decrees. In addition to spiritual and moral education, attention is also given to raising environmental knowledge and culture.
