Bologna System in the Republic of Uzbekistan: Monitoring and Current Trends

This article is dedicated to the analysis of the implementation of the Bologna system of education in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The relevance of the study is determined by the necessity to monitor current changes in higher education, which are taking place within the context of globalization and the integration of the country’s education system into the international community. The aim of the study is to assess the extent of the Bologna system’s implementation in Uzbekistan, identify key features and challenges, and provide recommendations for improving the integration process into the global educational community. The tasks of the study include investigating current trends, challenges, and prospects for the modernization of education in the context of international standards, and identifying the role of the Bologna system in strengthening Uzbekistan’s position in the international educational arena. The study employs a comprehensive set of analytical methods, including historical, institutional, and systemic approaches, as well as comparative analysis. The results showed that the Bologna system played a key role in the modernization of higher education in Uzbekistan. In particular, a two-tier education system (bachelor’s and master’s degrees), the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), and enhanced student and faculty mobility have been successfully implemented. However, despite these achievements, challenges remain, such as insufficient integration with global educational standards and the need for further development of academic mobility. In conclusion, it is emphasized that for full integration into the global educational community, further efforts are needed to improve educational standards and strengthen academic mobility, especially in the context of global changes.
