STRATEGIC PLAN

Education is the foundation of the development of any society. As part of the reforms being implemented in our country, raising the quality and effectiveness of education, training competitive personnel, and introducing innovative approaches are emphasized as one of the most important priority directions.

This plan defines the strategic directions, goals, and priority tasks for the development of the educational organization during 2025–2030. The main goal is the creation of a competitive, open, and effective educational environment that meets the requirements of modern education.

Strategic goal. To develop the educational organization on the basis of modern information and communication technologies, advanced pedagogical approaches, and principles of quality management, and to transform it into an advanced educational institution integrated with science and producing competitive personnel.

Today the demand for quality healthcare and educational services is continuously growing. Under the conditions of Uzbekistan, the development of modern medicine, education, and childcare sectors meeting international standards plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the country. For this reason, a strategic approach has been developed for opening a new clinic, school, kindergarten, and dental center, and for managing them effectively.

— To provide the local population with high-quality medical and educational services, ensure healthy and full development of children, and raise social welfare through the introduction of advanced technologies in the field of dentistry;

— To train university students as competitive personnel with modern knowledge and practical skills, prepare highly qualified specialists in every respect, develop research activities, and ensure the integration of education, science, and practice;

— To raise the quality of education at the university to the level of international standards, strengthen research and innovation activities, increase the effectiveness of clinical education, and prepare highly qualified, competitive personnel for the healthcare system;

— To transform medicine into an educational and scientific center recognized regionally and internationally, and to prepare mature specialists for the field through the accelerated development of modern medical education, research, and innovation;

— The basis of our goal consists of introducing an educational system aimed at strengthening the clinical and practical skills of students, organically linking research work with practice, and training specialists who meet the needs of the healthcare system.

This strategy aims to provide the local population with high-quality, innovative, and safe services through the creation of a modern clinic, school, kindergarten, and dental centers. This approach serves as an important step on the path to raising social welfare and building a healthy society. In addition to this, a number of measures are being taken in the area of ensuring international recognition of educational institutions and medical centers and of stimulating the development of education and healthcare sectors through the attraction of qualified foreign students and patients to our country.

System and tools for ensuring educational quality

Educational quality is one of the main indicators that ensures the effectiveness of the academic process, the level of mastery by students of knowledge, skills, and competencies, as well as the competitiveness of graduates in the labor market. Ensuring educational quality requires a system of continuous monitoring, evaluation, and development.

System for ensuring educational quality

The system for ensuring educational quality consists of the following main elements:

  • Internal quality control
    A quality monitoring system implemented within the educational institution itself, which includes the following:
  • Regular review and updating of academic programs;
  • Monitoring of the academic process (tests, rating system, etc.);
  • Improvement based on student feedback.

Tools for ensuring educational quality

The following tools are used to raise and monitor educational quality:

  • Information technologies — electronic journal, distance learning platforms, testing systems and analytical programs, internal platforms and applications
  • Evaluation tools — midterm and final tests
  • Standards for training specialists — curricula and subject programs developed in accordance with qualification requirements.
  • Communication system — regular collection of feedback from students, parents, employers, and other stakeholders, and continuous work with them.

Ensuring educational quality is not only monitoring or evaluation, but continuous development of the entire academic process. Through the seamless functioning of the quality assurance system and the application of advanced technologies and modern evaluation tools, the educational system can become even more effective and competitive.

Tuition contract amount and its calculation

A tuition contract is a form of obtaining an education by paying an established amount of money for the student’s studies at a higher educational institution. Contract payments are established depending on the following factors:

  • Form of education (full-time);
  • Type of program and level of specialization (bachelor’s, master’s);

Procedure for the contract payment

  • The annual contract amount is approved annually by the university and officially announced. At the university, contract fees are set in the range from 12,000,000 (twelve million) soums to 32,000,000 (thirty-two million) soums.
  • Payment may be made in stages or in full at the beginning of the year. Payment on a semester basis is available.
  • Payment forms: payments are made through the bank, via online payment systems, or with the help of mobile applications.

Benefits and opportunities to reduce payment

For certain categories of students, there are opportunities to reduce the contract amount or pay in installments. In particular:

  • For students in need of social protection from low-income families, financial assistance is allocated by the university.
  • For students achieving high results, internal scholarships or sponsorship-based assistance may be provided.

Strategic concept for the development of the educational organization

Education is the foundation of the development of any society and the most important source of human capital. In the process of reforms being implemented in our country, raising the quality and effectiveness of education, training competitive personnel, and introducing innovative approaches are defined as one of the most important priority directions.
