CONCEPTUAL BASIS OF EDUCATION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT IN UZBEKISTAN

INTRODUCTION 

From the first days of independence of 
Uzbekistan, great attention has been paid to the 
reform of the education system, and if we look at 
our achievements in the field of education today, 
we can see the high achievements in this area. Of 
course, it is due to the tireless efforts of our 
hardworking people, the head of state and the 
government that we have achieved these 
successes and achievements. As the first 
President Islam Karimov said, “We must 
complete our large-scale reforms in the field of 
education, not only build, repair and equip such 
educational institutions, but also attract the most 
qualified teachers and educators to bring our 
children up to date. We need to see the 
continuous improvement of our experience as 
the most important and very responsible task. ” 
[1.244]. 

On the eve of independence, a problematic 
situation prevailed in the public education 

system of the republic. In the late 1980s, about 
700 schools in the republic were in need of 
repair. The “residual” principle of funding public 
education was still in place. With a high birth 
rate in the country, there was a shortage of 
schools, and their educational and material base 
was in a deplorable state [2.131]. 

Indeed, in the second half of the 1980s, public 
education, delays in the higher education system, 
and interest rates were deeply ingrained, and 
national aspects were not taken into account. 
According to sources, in September 1987, 5,596 
(72.1 per cent) of the total schools in the republic 
were in two shifts; 23 even worked three shifts. 
1178.7 thousand students were studying in the 
second shift. [3.41]. 

MATERIALS AND METHODS 

In this case, the people of Uzbekistan, which 
gained independence, inherited the education 
system in need of reform. This problem was 
reflected in the speech of IA Karimov at the XI

session of the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR 
on October 25, 1989. IA Karimov paid great 
attention to the training of personnel and 
expressed the following views: “If our economy 
is strong, it will develop well, and our culture will 
benefit from it. 

If we want to think about our future, if we want 
to create conditions for today's youth who will 
continue to work in the future, if we care about 
their lives, first of all, we must completely change 
our attitude to the work of educating local youth. 
I don't think there is any way to change the 
situation in any area without careful training, 
appreciation, trust and support. ” [4.70-71]. 

The analysis shows that at that time there was a 
need to reform the content of the national 
education system, to gradually enrich and 
improve the material and technical base of the 
system, gradually adapting it to the requirements 
of the time. 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

The education system in independent Uzbekistan 
began to be reformed in July 1992 with the 
adoption of the Law of Uzbekistan "On 
Education". According to this law, education is 
based on national and universal values, historical 
experience, long-term scientific and cultural 
traditions of our people and the prospects for the 
development of society. On the basis of this law, 
until 1997, educational institutions in the 
country began to be reformed on a new basis. 
During these years, a number of concepts and 
programs have been created, such as "Preschool 
education", "General secondary education", 
"Extracurricular and extracurricular educational 
work", "Youth policy". In order to bring the 
public education system in line with the 
requirements of world practice, best practices in 
foreign countries have been studied, and on this 
basis, more than 20 areas, draft standards in 
science are prepared. They were examined by 

the State Committee for Science and Technology 
and began to be used in the practice of 
educational institutions. 

The process of renewal in society began to 
require major changes in the upbringing of 
young people as well. The transition from a 
command-and-control system to a civilized 
democratic society has led to the abandonment 
of some of the old traditional views in education 
and the search for methods of educational work 
that reflect the national characteristics that are 
relevant to life. Now the main attention is paid to 
inculcating in the minds of young people our 
national culture, history of our people, national 
traditions, customs, bringing them closer to the 
culture of other nations, creating in them a 
culture of interethnic relations, the practice of 
cooperation. 

During these years, new literature has been 
created, which is one of the main pillars of the 
educational process. Much attention was paid to 
the basic principles that are the ideological basis 
of the new education system in the creation of 
literature. The foundations of continuity in the 
education system and at the same time 
secondary special education have been laid. In 
the 1995-1996 academic year, 178 lyceums and 
105 gymnasiums were opened [5.33]. 

From the first years of independence, with in-
depth study of the experience of world 
development, the republic began to rebuild all 
links of public education, as well as the system of 
vocational education on a national basis. The 
concept of development of republican vocational 
education has been developed. In accordance 
with the Law "On Education", in 1992 the 
"Concept of Vocational Education Development 
of the Republic of Uzbekistan" and in 1994 the 
"Vocational Education Development Program for 
1994-1999" were adopted to change the content 
and essence of vocational education. , was 
implemented.
