Education in Uzbekistan.
Every citizen of our country has the right to education. This right is guaranteed by the Constitution. It isn’t only a right but a duty too. Every boy or girl must get secondary education. They go to school at the age of six or seven and must stay there until they are 14—17 years old. At school pupils study academic subjects, such as Uzbek, Foreign languages, Literature, History, Biology, Geography and others.
After finishing 9 forms of a secondary school young people can continue their education in the 10^th and the 11^th form. They can also go to vocational or technical schools, where they study academic subjects and receive a profession. A college gives general knowledge in academic subjects and a profound knowledge in one or several subjects.
After finishing a secondary, vocational, technical school, or a college, young people can start working or enter an institute or a university. To enter them the applicant must take entering examinations. Institutes and universities train specialists in different fields. A course at an institute or a university had taken 5 years before. But from 1997 years according to “The law about Education of Uzbekistan” we accepted two types of higher education. They are bachelor and magister courses. After 4 years students get bachelor degree in Arts or Science. Then some of bachelors can continue their knowledge in Magistrature courses, but others can work on their speciality. The term of studying there is two years. Many universities have extramural departments. It gives its students an opportunity to study without leaving their jobs. Institutes and universities usually have graduate courses which give candidate or doctoral degrees.
Higher educational establishments are headed by Rectors, Prorectors are in charge of academic and scientific work. An institute or a university has number of faculties, each specializing in a field of study. Students of institutes and universities get scholarships.
There are many institutes and universities in Uzbekistan: The National University of Uzbekistan, The University of Foreign Languages, The Tashkent Financial Institute, The Tashkent Pedagogical University and many others.
