It is planned that the APO will coordinate the work of all 643 technical schools operating in the country, as well as issue state-recognized diplomas and certificates to their graduates and students of training courses operating on the basis of state standards.
The organization will also establish requirements for vocational training programs, qualification levels, study periods, and assessment criteria for graduates’ knowledge. In addition, the Agency’s responsibilities include approving admission parameters for technical schools based on labor market needs.
The tasks of the APO will be the development of dual education and the establishment of partnerships between technical schools and enterprises, as well as the introduction of interactive, digital, and innovative teaching technologies into the educational process.

Earlier, it was reported that teachers in Uzbekistan would no longer be taught from a distance. International educational programs will be introduced in pedagogical colleges.
