Education system of Uzbekistan

The education system in Uzbekistan is currently managed by three ministries: Ministry of Preschool Education (MoPSE), Ministry of Public Education (MoPE) and Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education (MoHSSE).

The Government of Uzbekistan spends a large share of its resources on education - considerably more than other countries in the Central Asia region and elsewhere with a similar income level.

The (MoPE) recently adopted the second education sector plan (2019-2023). The plan was developed with the participation of the different divisions of the MoPE, MoPSE, other line ministries (Finances, Economy, Health, and Employment and Labor Relations), as well as the State Inspection for the Quality of Education, State Statistics Committee and international development partners.

The 2019-23 ESP has an overall vision that reflects the recent reforms introduced by the Government of Uzbekistan and is consistent with the it’s national development strategy 2017-2021. It is holistic and sensitive to the context
