Analysis# Uzbekistan Education Spending
Uzbekistan allocated 5.473% of GDP to education in 2023, representing a modest recovery from recent lows but still below its all-time peak of 6.295% in 2019. Over the decade from 2013 to 2023, education spending declined 4.7%, falling from 5.713% to its current level. The country's commitment to education has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a low of 4.136% in 2021 to the 2019 peak.
The most dramatic shifts occurred between 2016 and 2021, when spending dropped sharply from 5.381% to 4.136%, likely reflecting fiscal pressures. A recovery began in 2022, with spending rising to 5.235% and continuing upward to 5.473% in 2023. While current levels remain below the 2019 benchmark, the upward trajectory suggests Uzbekistan is reinvesting in education after years of constraint.
