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

In recent years, thanks to the opportunities provided to the private sector in the field of education, 71 private universities and 51 private technical schools have been created, in which about 500 thousand students and pupils study. As a result, higher education coverage in the country increased from 9 to 42 percent.

During the presentation, it was also noted that one of the main issues is the qualitative improvement of admission parameters, educational programs, educational processes, and scientific potential in non-state educational organizations, their adaptation to the needs of the modern labor market.

Based on the best practices of developed countries, the presentation also put forward an initiative to create a separate independent structure for external assessment of the quality of education and to introduce a transparent, impartial, and fair quality control system.
