Under the wise leadership of the respected President, the education system of our country is rapidly developing in the era of the Revival of a new epoch of a powerful state. In order to modernize the education system, take into account world experience, improve the quality of education for youth, and develop international cooperation, significant work is being done.

On May 14-15, 2024, the Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Centre for Islamic Countries at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation organized a training course on “Genetic Engineering and Genetically Modified Organisms”. The meeting was attended by representatives of member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The participation of lecturers from the Turkmen Agricultural Institute in this event is of particular importance.

The course activities were aimed to cover fundamental concepts of genetic engineering, such as gene cloning and transformation in crop plants, as well as the development and role of transgenic plants in improving, crop yields and resilience to pests and diseases. In addition, the training course discussed international standards and regulatory frameworks for GMOs, as well as the use of genome editing in agriculture.
