Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a resolution “On approval of the Concept for the development of the system of preschool education of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030” and approved the road map for its implementation in 2019 on 8 May 2019.
The concept defined the goals, objectives, priorities and stages of the development of pre-school education in the medium and long term.
The concept of development of the system of preschool education of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030 will be the basis for developing programs and sets of measures aimed at the development of the sphere of preschool education. The document envisages the solution of the problems of a shortage of qualified pedagogical personnel, an overload of state preschool institutions, an inadequate material and technical condition and a low percentage of the availability of educational and methodological materials of state preschool institutions.
“The adopted Concept for the development of the preschool education system is unprecedented: for the first time in such a document, clear targets are set to ensure that the achieved results are measurable. In particular, the task was set to increase the coverage of children with pre-school education by 2030 from the current 38.1% to 80.8%. Also, the Ministry of Preschool Education will continue to increase the capacity of educational institutions: by 2021, the number of places will increase by 56.8% (by 2030 - by 132.3%) due to the opening of new pre-school institutions, as well as the development of public-private partnerships and alternative forms of pre-school education, relevant for remote areas of the republic. In the coming years, special attention will be paid to pedagogical and managerial personnel. The work will be conducted in two directions: an increase in the number of teachers and the introduction of new approaches to training, retraining, advanced training, selection and development of employees. The targets set by the Concept descend from the republican scale to the oblast, district and city level, and are also supported by calculations of how much money is needed to achieve them, ”said Ten Elena, the head of the general management of the organization of pre-school institutions and strategic development.
According to the adopted Concept, the priority areas for the development of the pre-school education system until 2030 will be:
- further improvement of the regulatory framework (development of the State standard for pre-school education, approval of standards for the provision of kindergarten pupils with material resources, food, drugs, development of the procedure for the implementation of alternative forms of pre-school education);
- creation of conditions for the comprehensive development of children of preschool age (widespread introduction of the state program “First Step” and inclusive education, the development of educational materials, ensuring the continuity of preschool and primary education);
- increasing coverage, ensuring equal access of children to high-quality pre-school education, developing public-private partnerships (building new and reconstructing old pre-school institutions, universal introduction of free year-long preparation for school, developing alternative forms of pre-school education, and providing all pre-school educational institutions with public utilities);
- introduction of innovations, advanced pedagogical and information and communication technologies (development of information databases and multimedia products, introduction of digital educational resources for home education and parent education, stage-by-stage provision of all preschool educational institutions of the republic with Internet access);
- improvement of the pre-school education management system, ensuring transparency and efficiency of financing (creating effective monitoring mechanisms, providing information to interested persons, further improving the system of working with appeals, attracting foreign investment and grants, consistently introducing regulatory per capita funding);
- introduction of new approaches to the selection and development of personnel (the introduction of international educational standards, the involvement of foreign experts and the organization of foreign internships, the development of criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of employees, the development of material incentives programs and social support for personnel);
- provision of children with healthy and balanced nutrition, high-quality medical care in pre-school (creation of a centralized system for monitoring the supply of pre-school with products, involvement of specialized enterprises in terms of outsourcing, improvement of comprehensive care for children with special needs).
The implementation of the concept will be conducted in stages. Each year until 1 December, the Ministry of Preschool Education, based on a study of the results of the outgoing year, will develop and submit for approval to the Cabinet of Ministers the draft Road Map for the next year.
