The U.S. Agency for International Development’s Uzbekistan Education for Excellence Program supported the Ministry to review the standards and curriculum, a supportive teacher professional approach, and piloting to enhance ICT instruction.

With a modern, robust new curriculum carefully prepared by local and international experts to meet the needs of Uzbekistan’s students, how would the Ministry of Preschool and School Education (MoPSE) ensure the effectiveness of textbooks and teacher guides in the classroom?

The Uzbekistan Education for Excellence Program led the development of a groundbreaking curriculum based on international best practices and contributions from local experts.

The Uzbekistan Ministry of Preschool and School Education (MoPSE) spearheaded an initiative to reform its curricula based on international best practices.

Educators are the critical link between learning materials and students. Their approach to instruction influences learning and classroom dynamics every day.

A national curriculum and its learning materials are the backbone of an education system. At their best, they reflect student needs, a country’s aspirations for its youth, and a realistic path to gaining the knowledge that will bridge them.

Uzbekistan is on an upward trajectory of digital transformation. Its Digital Uzbekistan 2030 Strategy includes ambitious policy goals to modernize and increase the competitiveness of a range of sectors, from telecommunications to healthcare and public services.

Central to the Ministry of Preschool and School Education (MoPSE) reform agenda is the shift to a modern standards-based education approach that aligns instruction and outcomes to specific competencies or standards.

To improve the quality of instruction and learning, a challenge that many ministries must confront, is the need to provide teacher professional development at scale.

Leveraging the significant contributions made by MoPSE partners, the US Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Uzbekistan Education for Excellence Program was strategically designed to enhance and support mathematics quality enhancement initiatives.
