Abstract

This article examines the dynamics, trends of higher education services market in Uzbekistan and the most important features of its development. The analysis presents statistical data on the change in the number of higher education institutions, the change in the number of students, the change in the form of study: full-time, evening, and correspondence, and the admission and graduation indicators for the period of 2018–2024. Special attention is paid to the strengthening of competition in the market of higher education services, the growth of activities of public and private higher education institutions, branches of foreign higher education institutions. We also assess the skew of higher education institutions across regions, the centralization level in the capital and regional centers, and an increasing demand for educational services in the regions. These study results build the foundation for reaching both scientific and practical conclusions concerning the provision of more balanced development of higher education services market, its increased competitiveness and human capital sustainability.
