In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PD–76 dated 5 May 2025 “On Additional Measures to Improve the System of Quality Assurance in Education and the Provision of Educational Services,” the National Quality Assurance Agency for Education under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan has been assigned the task of expanding international relations in the field of quality assurance in education, joining international organizations in the field of quality assessment, and ensuring the international recognition of the national accreditation system.

To ensure the implementation of these tasks, and with a view to expanding the international integration of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of quality assurance in higher education and aligning the national accreditation system with international standards, the Agency held negotiations with the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE). As a result, on 4 May of the current year, the Agency officially obtained full membership in this network.
