The 2017 resolution expressly assigned the Inspectorate key nationwide responsibilities, including implementation of state policy in education quality control, attestation and state accreditation of state and non-state educational organizations irrespective of ownership or departmental affiliation, analysis of compliance with state educational standards and qualification requirements, and related quality monitoring functions. Accordingly, from 2017 onward, Uzbekistan already had a state institution exercising core external quality assurance functions in education.

As part of the broader administrative reforms of New Uzbekistan, the institutional structure changed in 2022. Under Presidential Decree PD-269 of 21 December 2022, the functions and powers of the Inspectorate were redistributed from 1 January 2023 between the Ministry of Preschool and School Education and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation.

A new phase of institutional consolidation began in 2025. Presidential Decree PD-76 of 5 May 2025 established the National Quality Assurance Agency for Education under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Decree defines the purpose of the reform as establishing mechanisms for external evaluation of education and research organizations and improving the quality of education services. It further identifies the Agency as the body responsible for external evaluation of education organizations across relevant sectors, development and improvement of quality assessment criteria and methods with reference to international standards and advanced foreign practice, expansion of international cooperation, membership in international quality assurance organizations, and securing international recognition of the national accreditation system.

This continuity is also consistent with the subsequent regulatory development of the accreditation system. The 2025 Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 498 introduced the system of comprehensive and special state accreditation for secondary specialized, vocational, higher, postgraduate, retraining, and upskilling organizations, and placed the Agency at the center of accreditation-related regulation, registers, monitoring, and recognition procedures.
