Tashkent court revokes license of private kindergarten Rayyan Kids

The Tashkent Interdistrict Economic Court has revoked the license of the private kindergarten Rayyan Kids Land. According to the court, the license for non-state educational services, issued on 13 August 2025, was annulled following a claim by the Ministry of Preschool and School Education.

What the court decided

The case followed a scandal over a video showing signs of mistreatment of children that appeared on social media in early July. A criminal case has been opened under Article 110 of the Criminal Code (cruel treatment) and a forensic medical examination has been ordered; a teacher is involved in the case as a defendant. The court explained the procedure and deadlines for appealing the ruling. The license revocation was also reported by the Gazeta.uz news portal.

What it means for parents

Revoking a license means the institution loses the right to legally provide educational services. Before enrolling a child in a private kindergarten or center, parents should make sure the institution holds a valid license from the Ministry of Preschool and School Education.

You can check a license by requesting a copy directly from the institution and verifying the details with the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. Signs of mistreatment or other violations at a kindergarten can be reported to the ministry, and — where a child's life or health is at risk — to law enforcement.
