Abstract

Uzbekistan's education is characterized by remarkable strengths, including the dynamic progress that stand out as Uzbekistan's competitive advantages in higher education. Since 2016, Uzbekistan has undergone a comprehensive reform of its higher education sector. Under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the nation has witnessed various initiatives in transforming higher education landscape in Uzbekistan, entailing the shift from a survival-oriented approach of education to the one that emphasizes modernization, growth, and innovation (Muratov & Wilkins, 2024). Higher education has been positioned as the backbone of this transformation, with enrollment of students rising dramatically from 9% to 42% in recent years, alongside parallel reforms in governance, internationalization, and quality assurance of higher education sector (World Bank, 2022; OECD, 2023). The establishment of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation (MHESI) in 2023 further institutionalizes this reform, integrating higher education with science and innovation in line with global standards. With a long-term vision articulated in the Concept for the Development of the Higher Education System until 2030, Uzbekistan has created an enabling environment for knowledge-driven growth and international collaboration.
