Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with a number of proposals aimed at improving the quality of education in Uzbekistan.

The main attention was paid to improving the qualifications of teachers, modernizing the knowledge assessment system and providing modern educational technologies.

A new teacher certification system was introduced, based on advanced technologies, in which more than 190 thousand teachers took part. The result was an upgrade of category for 51 thousand teachers. It is also proposed to increase the salaries of teachers with the highest and first qualification categories from September 2025.

In order to further develop the education system, the idea was put forward of creating a National Institute of Educational Pedagogy on the basis of the Research Institute of Pedagogical Sciences of Uzbekistan named after Kara-Niyazi. This institute will be engaged in strengthening interaction between schools, parents and communities, developing educational literature and scientific research.

In order to disseminate best practices, the Presidential Schools Assessment System was introduced to 500 schools last year. As a result, student achievement in them increased from 53 to 59 percent. For school management and teachers who have achieved high results, an increase of up to 40 percent has been established.

In this regard, starting from the new academic year, this assessment system will be used in another 1 thousand schools. They will be assigned 182 specialized schools and 500 schools that have tested the system.

These initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of education, increasing student interest in the educational process and ensuring modern educational standards in Uzbekistan.
