Large-scale programs for reforming higher education and science, including postgraduate education are being implemented in the country.

In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated February 16, 2017 N UP-4958 "On further improvement of the system of post-graduate education" since July 1, 2017 The introduction of a two-tiered system was important. The Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan provides for the qualitative development of education and science, radical improvement of the quality and effectiveness of the system of training and attestation of highly qualified scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel, wide involvement of talented youth in their research activities and their intellectual potential. and to expand the possibilities of comprehensive representation.Significant positive changes have been made in improving the quality and effectiveness of the postgraduate education system, especially over the last two years. The changes are reflected in the relevant legal documents.

The scientific community is involved in various levels of ideas and proposals to improve the quality and effectiveness of higher education and science, including postgraduate education. In this process, it is important that your suggestions and ideas are sound, honest and true, while respecting each and every reaction.

Erkin Karimov's scientific degree system in Uzbekistan: Isn't it time to fix mistakes? The article was published on Kun.uz. We wish E. Karimov good health and success in his scientific activities, including the following:The article notes that the special privileges of scientists with a Doctor of Science degree in joining scientific councils, expert groups, and, in general, enhancing their ability to influence various processes in the field of science, give this degree. in some ways “politicize” it. It is even better to say that the impact of those who work in the industry now than the HAC, in general, is that human factors play a greater role. ”

In fact, this is not the case:

First, the issue of introducing scientists to the Academic Council is based on the statutory requirements of the relevant ministries and departments, as well as the relevant higher education institutions (HEIs) and research institutions (RIs), scientific councils. For example, in accordance with the "Regulations for the establishment of Scientific Councils for Academic Degrees", the Scientific Council is formed and formed at the request of the relevant ministries and agencies.

Secondly, there are no incentives to include scholars to scientific councils and advisory boards, but their responsibilities are greatly increased. An example of this is the Academic Council at the National University of Uzbekistan and the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences. 21 members of the Scientific Council, including A.Sadullaev, U.Roziqov, V.Chilin and G.Botirov, perform their duties honestly and conscientiously. Also, the chairman of the expert council A.Rasulov and members of the Board of the CAC Sh.Yupov perform their duties honestly and conscientiously. This also applies to the 120 scientific councils in which they operate.The article "What Do We Want To Change?" It is said to be We will inform you of the following.

The first wish is to remove any obstacles and obstacles on the topic of dissertation:

First, the formation, attachment, research and approval of the topic is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Innovation, interested ministries (departments) and relevant HEIs and RIs;

secondly, there are no subject restrictions or restrictions imposed by the HAC;

Third, the HAC issues are only registered and published in the OAC Bulletin on the basis of a recommendation from the relevant HEIs and CERs. It should be noted that topics are submitted to the HAC through the electronic document management system;

Fourth, once the subject has been approved by the HEIs and the RCC Board, the researcher can complete all attestation activities without waiting for the subject to be registered and published by the HAC. For example, a researcher may take a qualifying exam after the subject has been approved by the decision of the university council.

The second request is: "Cancel technical requirements for the topic. The theme of the present demand is that the topic of the dissertation does not exceed a certain number of words. In most cases, this restriction prevents them from fully disclosing the topic of the dissertation. ”Except for the above, there is no rule or requirement by the HAC that the topic of the dissertation should not exceed a certain number of words.

The third wish is to remove the terms of publication in the HAC Bulletin when the subject is changed. Generally, it is advisable to submit the dissertation topics to the HAC database when the dissertation is completed and protected. It is a natural process that changes the subject while doing research, and artificial obstruction - obviously, has a negative effect on the process. "

First, the formulation, approval, and modification of the topic are under the authority of the Ministry of Innovation, Ministries (Agencies) and relevant HEIs and RIs, as mentioned above;

Secondly, the process of registering (making changes) is carried out by the CEC through the electronic document management system. This practice does not have any negative impact on the scientific process;

third, it is the researcher and his research supervisor who initiates the change, rather than the HAC;Fourth, there is no artificial barrier to changing the topic by the HAC. As the topic is not initiated by the HAC. The HAC works with the provided material and does not interfere with it;

Fifth, it is known that three years are allocated for the dissertation research. If the topic is placed in the HAC database after 3 years of work protection, it will cause an increase in the number of repetitive and parallel topics over the past period.

The article "How do we need OAC?" by comments:

The first point is: “The HAC does not have to approve and coordinate the thesis topics. While the thesis is ready for defense, the latest topics are D.I. it should only be passed through a formal process by the executed organization to be included in the special CAC database. This base must be accessible to everyone online:

First, as mentioned above, the formation, attachment, approval, and modification of the subject is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Innovation, Ministries (Agencies) and relevant higher education (HEI) and research institutions (HEIs);

Secondly, the HAC does not coordinate the topics as they are submitted to the HAC for registration after approval by the HEI and the RI;

Third, the publication of topics will serve as an important database for relevant organizations and researchers
