These reforms, however, do not only reflect nationalistic aspiration. Since securing independence, the Uzbek nation realized its great
responsibility as citizens of the international community and as citizens of our planet. Therefore one of our main goals is to educate a healthy generation, both physically and mentally.
The main principals of our new educational policy support this endeavor. Our goals are determined as the following: humanistic, democratic methods of teaching and socialization, priority to
human values, national and cultural traditions, and the separation of educational institutions from the influence of political parties and social and political movements.
Considering these principals and the experiences of developed countries of the world, the Republic of Uzbekistan has recognized its main
direction of educational development. They are as follows:
- Modification and further perfection of the education and socialization content
- Development of new school, curricula and textbooks
- Stress on individual ability and talent
- Vocational and Professional development in accordance with changing economical needs
- Integrating Uzbekistan with world educational standards
At present within the process of transformation of all the social activity and perspectives of the country development, textbooks are being
renewed, new subjects are added and teaching staff is being retrained. The new state educational standards are being completed. A great number of new types of schools are being established.
These schools specialize in foreign languages, economics and in ecological problems.
Parallel to this, research work is being done on continuation of educational complex including kindergarten, high school, scientific research and
retraining institutions. New methods and technologies are created rapidly based on the national and worldwide pedagogical needs. The basic principals of educational reforms in our republic
are democratization and humanization. Of course, all these processes are not easy and simple. The government has to solve many economical, and social problems besides other conflicts.
