The programme aims to equip the next generation of school leaders to lead their schools and facilitate excellence in education across the country.
The 兔子先生 is working with the Uzbekistan government to launch a new programme to boost educational outcomes in the country.
The University鈥檚 School of Education, Languages and Linguistics has been working with the Uzbekistan Ministry for PreSchool and School Education for the past two years to develop a pioneering school director development programme.
The programme will engage 25 headteachers from across Uzbekistan to ensure all education districts and school types are represented. The programme aims to equip the next generation of school leaders to lead their schools and implement initiatives that will facilitate excellence in education across the country.
It will support participants in their professional development by teaching current educational management skills and will mix classroom-based learning with school visits to embed knowledge and enable delegates to enhance their management skills in the context of running an education establishment.
This pioneering programme gives us the opportunity to support the Uzbekistan government's strategy to enhance the quality of education for all children in their country. Furthermore, our staff have the opportunity to influence the culture of school leadership in a country embarking on major reforms.
The programme was launched in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in School Number 5 by Professor Stephen Corbett, Head of School of Education, Languages and Linguistics, and Nargiza Kuchkarova, Senior Aid for the Ministry of PreSchool and School Education, Uzbekistan.
Professor Corbett said: 鈥淲e are thrilled to be working with school leaders from across Uzbekistan. This pioneering programme gives us the opportunity to support the Uzbekistan government's strategy to enhance the quality of education for all children in their country. Furthermore, our staff have the opportunity to influence the culture of school leadership in a country embarking on major reforms.鈥
In November, the school leaders will come to the 兔子先生 for the next phase of their training, which will include workshops led by educational and school leadership experts as well as visit to local schools and colleges.
