Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Government of Uzbekistan adopted a resolution "On measures to transform higher educational institutions in cooperation with prestigious foreign educational institutions."
The resolution defines the main directions of the transformation of universities. In particular, it is planned to carry out work on the digitalization of the educational process in universities, the organization of the transfer of educational technologies, the expansion of project-based teaching methods, the creation of an innovative educational environment and research, the development of entrepreneurship skills among students, as well as the transformation of universities into centers for the development of education and science.
In order to transform universities, the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education was instructed to hold an open competition for the selection of 5 universities by 1 March 2021. Within two months, the Ministry of Higher Education will develop and approve the procedure for holding the competition.
The department has been instructed to develop and approve a transformation program for universities by 1 May 2021.
It has been established that universities that will be transformed will gradually switch to a self-financing system.
Starting from the 2021/2022 academic year, these universities will independently formulate, as an experiment, the parameters of admission on a paid-contract basis in the direction of the bachelor's degree.
These universities will conduct entrance exams on their own with the approval of the state commission.
The selected universities will invite teachers from foreign partner universities and will begin to gradually introduce the teaching of subjects in foreign languages.
The Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education, together with the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, needs to attract grants from international financial and economic institutions to finance the transformation process.
