Education edit
In 1992 the Pedagogical Institute was upgraded to Termez State University. Termez is also served by the Termez Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy, Termez Technical University, and the Termez Branch of Tashkent State Agrarian University.
There are 26 secondary schools in Termez, six of which offer instruction in the Russian language. A presidential school is scheduled to open in 2021.
In 2001, Germany began operating a base in Termez. The military airfield was the main support base for German and Dutch forces operating with the ISAF for transiting goods into Afghanistan. It was closed in 2015.[1]
On 2 July 2021, the Biden administration reached out to Uzbekistan, as well as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, to ask if they might temporarily accommodate up to 9,000 Afghans who might face reprisals for working with U.S. military forces.[2] By 5 July, the state security services had constructed a refugee camp in Termez to brace for an Afghan refugee crisis.[3]
