Development of educational system and training of the young generation are identified by the Government of Uzbekistan as priority directions in formulating the principles of building a new society in the country. This approach derives from the Uzbek model of reforming the economy, social sector and policy, which proclaims the man, his prosperity and welfare as the key goal. Access to quality education is considered as the basic right of a man, which ensures the increase in living standards and health improvement of individuals, on a society scale – the most important condition for renovation of all aspects of the society’s life and achieving gender equality. Uzbekistan ranks among the leading countries in the world by the main indicators of the level of education. Notwithstanding all difficulties of the transition period, the country has managed to not only maintain the achievements in this sphere, but also create qualitatively new conditions for the development of education in line with on-going market reforms. This statistical compilation presents statistical information on the level of education of population, number of students in the breakdown of types of educational institutions as well as students in vocational and higher education institutions by sectoral profile of academic institutions and number of teachers at educational institutions.
