The Education System in Uzbekistan
In Uzbekistan, various reforms are being implemented in the field of education. Just as every country pays special attention to education, Uzbekistan is no exception. Our President, Shavkat Mirziyoyev Miromonovich, is creating favorable conditions, opportunities, and facilities for the development of education.
The education system in Uzbekistan is compulsory and continuous. The main components of the education system are as follows:
Preschool education: Preparing children for school
General secondary and secondary specialized education: A compulsory stage, after which students may proceed to professional education
Higher education: Universities and institutes
Postgraduate education: Master’s and doctoral studies
Retraining and professional development: Continuous professional growth
Extracurricular education: Clubs and courses
General secondary education (Grades I–XI) consists of the following stages:
Primary education (Grades I–IV);
Basic secondary education (Grades V–IX);
Upper secondary education (Grades X–XI).
Children are admitted to the first grade of general secondary education institutions in the year they reach the age of seven.
It is worth noting that over the past five years, 47 new higher education institutions have been established in our country, including branches of foreign universities, increasing the total number of higher education institutions to 125.
In particular, one of the most important documents adopted in the education system is the new edition of the Law “On Education.” According to this law, the fundamental principles of education, as well as the system, types, and forms of education, have been clearly defined.
The changes in the education sector not only bring joy but also strongly motivate us, young teachers, to dedicate all our potential to serving our country and providing high-quality education to the younger generation.
