The socio-economic changes taking place in our country and the transition to a market economy
pose a challenge to the education system to form the economic competence of specialists.
Solving this problem is associated with the strategic importance of economic education of young
people in ensuring the future of the country. As is known, economic competence is a factor in
limiting the negative consequences of the actions of market entities, assessing activities not only
from the point of view of economic expediency, but also from the point of view of spiritual and
moral value. In education, it is necessary to take into account the systemic nature of the
transformation processes in society and the economy, as well as the modern priorities of personal
development. The concept of “Development of the Higher Education System of the Republic of
Uzbekistan until 2030”, approved by the President of our country in 2019, emphasizes that a
developing society needs people who are modernly educated, spiritual, initiative, able to make
independent decisions in any conditions, capable of cooperation, distinguished by mobility,
constructiveness, ready for intercultural dialogue, and who approach the fate of the country and
its socio-economic well-being with a sense of responsibility.
The new priority areas for the development of higher education, set out in the concept of
“Development of the Higher Education System of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030”, are
primarily related to achieving a new quality of education that meets both the needs of the labor
market and international standards. In order to bring the quality of training of specialists in the
process of higher education into line with modern requirements, a pedagogically proven system
should serve, which will allow higher education students to form the necessary competencies
both in the field of professional activity and in the optimal use of their abilities economically.
Therefore, higher education is tasked with the implementation of all areas of professional
training of graduates, as established by the state standard, as well as the training of specialists
with the necessary economic competence. Today, the problem of forming and developing the
basic competencies of higher education students that ensure their full functioning in society and
their future professional development is urgent.
The following features of the vocational education process are generally recognized: consistency,
continuity, improvement. In all areas of the activity and development of the education system, an
active search is underway for ways and forms of implementing educational models in order to
improve the quality of vocational education and improve its content. However, in certain areas,
there is a voluntary, spontaneous, unscientific approach to solving the problems of vocational

education. This, in our opinion, primarily concerns the acquisition of economic knowledge by
students. The extensive development path of the vocational education system cannot ensure its
functioning and development at the level of modern requirements. Therefore, qualitative changes
in the process of economic education are necessary as a component of the professional training
of specialists. Higher education, as one of the components of the modern economic education
system, plays a very important role in the training of future specialists. It is designed to
adequately form systematic economic knowledge and decision-making skills that form the basis
of activity in various fields. In this process, economic competence is one of the primary
mechanisms for creating the means of adapting a person to socio-economic changes, and serves
as a means of personal development, expanding economic knowledge, and forming human
capital.
In the new socio-economic conditions, the issues of scientific and methodological support for the
organization and implementation of the process of developing economic competence of higher
education students are gaining particular relevance. Today, the increased need for highly
qualified personnel capable of carrying out economic activities, the lack of a model for the
development of economic competence of higher education students predetermines the scientific
and methodological level of relevance of this problem.
Thus, the problem of developing the economic competence of higher education students is
urgent and is determined by a number of objectively existing contradictions, including:
contradictions between the growing requirements of society for the level of training of
future specialists capable of working effectively in the changed conditions of the socio-economic
environment and the existing system of their professional training;
contradictions between the need to create a scientifically based model of developing
students' economic competence as one of the tasks of the educational process in higher
educational institutions and its insufficient theoretical development;
contradictions between the objective need for a methodology for developing the
economic competence of higher education students and the insufficient content and
methodological support of this process.
