Participation of Uzbek Universities in International Rankings

Abstract

The article considers current issues of ensuring the competitiveness of universities and national higher education systems, primarily Uzbek, in the context of globalization. Ensuring a high level of competitiveness of the education system on the world stage is based on effective strategies for the development of national universities. The implementation of these strategies should contribute to achieving the level of world standards in education, research and development. The most striking examples of a competitive university are the so-called “world-class universities” included in well-known international rankings (ARWU, THE, QS).

The strategy for achieving a competitiveness level by a particular university, which makes it possible not only to get into the international ranking and gain a foothold in it, but also to move up, is directly related to the national (state) strategy for the development of higher education. The experience of participation of Universities of Uzbekistan in international rankings is presented.
