SOCIAL MOBILITY AND EDUCATIONAL REFORMS: THE EXPERIENCE OF UZBEKISTAN KARIMOVA

Abstract

In the 21st century, social mobility has become one of the key indicators of social progress and stability. Social mobility is understood as the upward or downward movement of individuals or groups within the social hierarchy. Among the major drivers of social mobility, the education system holds a central place, as it provides opportunities for personal development, equal access to knowledge, and professional growth. In Uzbekistan, the past decades have witnessed large-scale educational reforms aimed at strengthening social justice, expanding equal opportunities, and building a knowledge-based economy.
