The President reviewed the presentation on non-state education

On April 30, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the presentation of measures to improve the system of non-state educational services and improve the quality of higher and vocational education.

The development of economic sectors and the investment climate are closely related, first of all, to the potential of human resources. Therefore, the system of higher and vocational education is constantly being improved.

In recent years, due to the opportunities provided to the private sector in the field of education, 71 private universities and 51 private technical schools have been established, where about 500 thousand students and pupils are studying. As a result, the coverage of higher education in the country has increased from 9 percent to 42 percent.

Of course, the work done to date has enabled many young people to receive professional and higher education. However, the quality of education is not ensured equally in all non-governmental educational organizations.

One of the most important issues is to qualitatively improve the admission parameters, educational programs, learning processes and scientific potential in non-governmental educational organizations, and adapt them to the needs of the modern labor market.

Therefore, the presentation discussed proposals aimed at regulating the provision of non-governmental educational services, improving the licensing system and introducing a new system for state accreditation.

In this regard, proposals were made to transition to a two-stage licensing system based on advanced foreign experience, conduct special accreditation of educational programs and organize comprehensive state accreditation every five years.

The presentation also put forward the initiative to establish a separate independent structure that would be engaged in external assessment of the quality of education, based on the most advanced experience of developed countries, and introduce a transparent, objective and fair system of quality control.

Ensuring the quality of education and introducing external evaluation will increase the efficiency of teaching and scientific potential in vocational and higher education institutions, improving their position in international rankings. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
