How my student launched an EdTech startup in Uzbekistan

Most students simply learn. But one of my students decided to create something real.

WHAT IS Gradly? Gradly is an education-focused platform that focuses on:

  • IELTS preparation
  • Academic conferences
  • Learning with AI

The idea is simple — combining education, technology and real opportunities.

THE STORY: The project was built by Yadgarov Fayzullo, a full-Stack programmer, 2nd year student of the IT Department of BUCHEON UNIVERSITY in Tashkent.

Instead of just studying technologies, he decided to apply them to a real problem — education.

THE PROBLEM: The education landscape in Uzbekistan is changing rapidly.

Starting July 11, 2025, IELTS has switched to a new format:

Listening, reading and writing are now done on a computer Only speaking remains offline

This has created new challenges for students:

  • lack of digital learning tools
  • difficulty adapting to computer-based exams
  • limited access to academic conferences
  • lack of clear guidelines on how to publish research

THE SOLUTION — is Gradly.uz

Gradly.uz is an edtech platform enhanced with artificial intelligence.

It helps students:

  • Prepare for the IELTS exam in a digital format
  • Understand academic pathways
  • Explore conference opportunities
  • Learn more effectively with AI

WHY THIS MATTERSS: EdTech and IT are rapidly evolving.

Today, students need:

  • digital skills
  • global opportunities
  • structured learning paths

Platforms like Gradly are not just tools — they are the bridge between local education and global standards.

As a teacher, I believe that true learning occurs when students create meaningful things.

This project demonstrates:

  • initiative
  • understanding real problems
  • the ability to turn knowledge into value

And this is the direction in which education should develop.

WHAT’s NEXT: The vision doesn’t stop there.

It can grow gradually by expanding its features:

  • add more languages ​​(including Korean)
  • adapt to international users

If you are working on something — start right now. You do not need perfect conditions.

You need action.
