  • Summary

    Uzbekistan is a lower-middle-income country with a population of 33 million people. Uzbekistan’s economy was more resilient to external shocks than other post-Soviet countries in the 1990s. Although the transition produced many economic and political benefits, it also produced some disadvantages. In terms of the management of some sectors of the economy, Uzbekistan did not reject centralized planning.. Uzbekistan more recently has been dedicated to implanting market-oriented reforms but only in some sectors, such as retail. The HE system is comprised of universities, institutes, and academies. There are 32 universities (20 public universities and their 6 regional branches, and 6 branches of foreign universities), 6 academies, and 44 institutes (36 public institutes and their 7 regional branches, and one branch of foreign university. The approach to governance in the HE sector can be described as top-down and centralized. The Academic Board and the Board of Trustees are advisory bodies of the HEIs.
