독립 이후 나타난 우즈베키스탄 교육제도와 교육환경 분석

Abstract

Uzbekistan accounted for 44% of the total population of Central Asia in 2017 and has an enrollment of 1.1million in all educational institutions. Therefore, the future of Uzbekistan can be said to depend on education. After independence, the Uzbekistan government has reorganized education system, which was the legacy of the Soviet education system, to fit the international community and has created its own independent education model by continuing to open colleges with connections to the core academic fields needed for national development although the economy has been depressed due to the transition period. However, due to the lack of government budget allocations for the education sector, the Uzbekistan government failed to improve the education environment as follows. First, the development and publication of educational materials such as textbooks which are most necessary for the class did not proceed well. Secondly, teachers and professors had to receive low salaries. In particular, teachers and professors with fewer wages had to do other things after school, so lessons were not made at all educational institutions and they illegally raised students' grades and received money from their parents. Therefore, students and parents have distrust in public education. The high entrance competition in Uzbekistan has made this situation worse. All universities have solved the insufficient budget by creating illegal systems such as contributory admission. In this paper the causes and effects of the changes in the education system and education environment in Uzbekistan after independence will be analyzed concretely and the impact of this on the future of Uzbekistan and its solutions will be presented.
