&quot;At present, in accordance with our economic strategy aimed at developing the country&rsquo;s economy through diversification, colossal progress is being achieved in all its sectors. Turkmenistan is confidently taking its place among the industrially developed countries of the world.

Workers of the construction and industrial complex, along with representatives of other sectors, make a worthy contribution to the large-scale reforms being carried out in our country and to the grand achievements being attained.

In the new historical era, the construction and industrial complex has become one of the priority segments of the national economy. Its key sectors&mdash;industrial, construction, chemical, energy, as well as road construction&mdash;are developing at a high pace,&quot; the head of state noted.

&quot;Electric power also plays an important role in the development of the national economy. The dynamic development of this key sector lays the most important foundations for forming a new industrial-innovative profile for our country, increasing its economic potential, and improving the welfare of the people.

Today, our sovereign homeland has become one of the leading energy powers not only in the region but also in the world. Currently, as part of the large-scale reforms being implemented in this sector, work is underway to ensure reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply to domestic consumers, diversify Turkmen electricity exports to foreign countries, create new energy capacities, improve the technical condition of distribution networks, and establish a looped connection of the existing unified national energy system,&quot; the president emphasized.

The head of state wished workers of the construction and industrial complex good health, happiness, prosperity, and great success in their work.

&ldquo;Green&rdquo; education is a comprehensive approach primarily aimed at developing in younger generations the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, values, and culture of behavior to create a sustainable society and pass the environment on to future generations in good condition. This concept involves not only teaching the fundamentals of ecology and sustainable development but also implementing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions in educational institutions.

Respect for nature and the development of ecological culture are the main directions of &ldquo;green&rdquo; education. Therefore, at all levels of education, concepts related to climate change, the rational use of natural resources, and sustainable development are widely integrated. In addition to introducing specialized ecological subjects into curricula, extracurricular and mass events are regularly held.

Modernizing the educational environment, i.e., creating &ldquo;green&rdquo; schools, is also one of the important steps in this direction. &ldquo;Green&rdquo; education enables young people to increase their understanding of the environment, learn to use natural resources sparingly, and creatively solve ecological problems.

Important steps are being taken in Turkmenistan in this area. Alongside improving ecological literacy, special emphasis is placed on developing international cooperation. A clear example of such cooperation is the Memorandum signed in April of this year between the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan and the UNICEF office in Turkmenistan regarding the joint program &ldquo;Green School.&rdquo; This program, the first of its kind in Central Asia, aims to transition participating schools to a sustainable and energy-efficient environment.

Within the framework of this program, principles of sustainable development are integrated into all aspects of educational institutions&#39; work&mdash;from interactive teaching methods to energy-saving measures.

It is also worth noting the successful implementation of the &ldquo;green&rdquo; education concept in our higher education institutions. Some of our universities have managed to enter international specialized &ldquo;green&rdquo; rankings. The most prestigious of these is the &ldquo;UI GreenMetric&rdquo; ranking created by the University of Indonesia, which evaluates universities on their work in sustainable development and environmental well-being. This ranking considers indicators such as natural resource management, energy efficiency, waste management, and the development of ecological educational programs.

According to the results of 2024, 11 higher education institutions of Turkmenistan were included in this ranking. Among them, the Oguzhan University of Engineering Technologies and the S.A. Niyazov Turkmen Agricultural University succeeded in entering the top 500 universities worldwide.

Educational reforms carried out in the country also broadly open the way for &ldquo;green&rdquo; education initiatives. New educational buildings are constructed in accordance with international ecological standards, providing young people with wide opportunities in ecological fields. For example, the new building of the Turkmen State Energy Institute opened on September 1, 2025, in the city of Mary, equipped with solar panels and a scientific-production center for &ldquo;Renewable Energy Sources,&rdquo; demonstrates the successful implementation of the country&rsquo;s &ldquo;green&rdquo; energy policy.
