Education in the Republic of Uzbekistan in modern conditions is undergoing
significant changes. The trend of higher education in Uzbekistan is aimed at the
internationalization of the educational system. The internationalization process is focused on
strengthening the intellectual potential of the country, borrowing the experience of
international partner universities and integrating them into the domestic educational and
research process, promoting Uzbek education, science and culture in the global educational
market.
Prospects for the development of internationalization are supported by the interaction
of partner universities, when each participant "shares" the strongest aspects of the educational
process and research with partners, thereby improving the quality of education.
Developing the internationalization of education, the Republic of Uzbekistan provides
an opportunity to increase the competitiveness of the Uzbekistan economy by adapting
graduates to the global world in all areas of social development. The expediency of the process
of internationalization in education is aimed at achieving the following goals: changing and
increasing financial resources by attracting foreign students on a commercial basis, enlarging
the regional interaction of the university with other organizations for the effective use of its
resources, teaching its students in foreign partner universities, improving the quality of
education and scientific research of students and teachers in the international educational
space.
One of the tools in the training of teachers, which will improve the quality of education,

is academic mobility.
According to the definition of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
(2006), academic mobility means “the movement of someone associated with education for a
specified (usually up to a year) period to another educational institution (in their own country
or abroad) for training, teaching or research, after which the student, teacher or researcher
returns to his primary school. This concept is not associated with emigration or a long period
of study (work) abroad”

In the Leuven Communiqué (2009) “The mobility of students, novice researchers and
higher education staff improves the quality of programs and research. It enhances the
academic and cultural internationalization of European higher education… Mobility is
essential for personal development and employability; it builds respect for diversity and the
ability to understand other cultures…”

Academic mobility is aimed at the implementation of the following goals: improving
the quality of education received by the student, introducing new methods and technologies
in the learning process, participation of both students and teachers in the international
education system, organizing conditions for employment of graduates, higher - increasing
their competitiveness in the international labor market, as well as increasing the prestige of an
educational organization in the world educational space.
Also, the problem of academic mobility was raised by Atamuratova Maftuna in her
article. The author talks about academic mobility in terms of improving the quality of student
education, and also as one of the main mechanisms of internationalization

• Scholarship programs of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The
service plays the role of an intermediary in the global educational space. The German
Academic Exchange Service has fourteen foreign offices and about fifty information centers.
When implementing academic exchanges, DAAD provides for about 60,000 scholarships per
year.
• Fulbright program. In 2014, more than 1,500 Uzbek scientists, students, graduate
students, and teachers received a Fulbright grant. Every year about 70 fellows come to the
Republic of Uzbekistan for several programs.
The implementation of academic mobility of students "in its purest form" allows
developing the following competencies: finding ways to interact with the world community,
the ability to study the problem in a comparative aspect, the ability to cross-cultural
communication, the ability to assess one's own level of knowledge, the ability to change self-
perception, knowledge about other cultures. Academic mobility provides an impetus for the
development of academic excellence through new contacts and perspectives, as well as the
comparison of education systems. The absence of barriers in the field of education strengthens
international cooperation and interconnection, and also improves the quality of higher
education and research. To improve the quality of training of teaching staff, it is necessary to
improve the model for organizing academic mobility of teaching staff of Uzbekistan
universities. The development of academic mobility requires the solution of certain tasks:
increasing the availability of choice and implementation of various educational trajectories for
students within the framework of one or more basic educational programs; increasing the
attractiveness of the proposed educational trajectories, as well as providing the opportunity
for students to choose the most suitable trajectories for them, taking into account their personal
characteristics, abilities, preferences, interests; creation of corporate information and
educational, personnel and material and technical resources at the interuniversity level, as well
as by organizing interaction with enterprises-strategic partners; formation of motivation for
academic mobility for students.
As part of the project of the concept of modernization of teacher education, new
approaches are being developed to the development and implementation of training programs
for teachers. The changes affected the content and technologies of training teachers in
accordance with professional standards, with the development of networking and academic
mobility.
The implementation of the project "International Academic Mobility" is carried out in
several directions: the formation of an international contractual framework for the recognition
of documents on education and qualifications; formation of framework programs to support
academic mobility, including the allocation of quotas by the Republic of Uzbekistan for the
training of citizens of foreign states in educational institutions of higher education of the
Uzbekistan; providing training for citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan in foreign
educational organizations; attracting leading scientists to Uzbek educational organizations of
higher professional education, scientific institutions of state academies of sciences and state
research centers of the Republic of Uzbekistan; establishment of partnership relations between
scientific and educational organizations.
