Abstract
This research report presents findings from a survey-based study aimed at investigating the perceptions of students on the quality of higher education in Uzbekistan. With the massification of higher education in Uzbekistan, it is crucial to develop and implement mechanisms of assuring and enhancing higher education quality. For this it is first of all important to understand studentsʻ perception of quality in higher education. The research was carried out employing a survey method that was conducted among 177 students of state and private universities in Uzbekistan. The findings of the research suggest that students see the quality of academic staff as the most important determinant of quality in higher education.
