Uzbekistan Country Gender Assessment Update
the Basic textbook development project was accompanied by the gender expertise of 
several school textbooks that revealed a whole set of stereotypes. this practice has been quite 
successful. However, no similar attempts to apply gender expertise to school or university 
textbooks, either from donors or the government, have occurred.
9. recommendations
• 
Support an analysis of factors that contribute to decreasing female enrollment in 
higher education, including those connected to economic status and infrastructure 
insufficiencies.
• 
Support an assessment and gender analysis of labor market demand corresponding 
to female employment opportunities in nontraditional sectors (e.g., industry, energy, 
transport, construction, information and communication technology, and finance).
• 
Support special sectoral measures to promote gender balance in students’ choice of 
academic subjects and areas of study (e.g., setting enrollment quotas or providing 
scholarships, internships, mentoring programs, and incentives to boost women’s entry 
into nontraditional sectors).
• 
In partnership with the WCU and other nongovernment stakeholders and under the 
auspices of the projects’ Gap outreach, carry out interventions that promote technical 
and vocational education and training for girls and opportunities for women in 
nontraditional technical specialties.
• 
Consider applying the good lessons from the adB-supported Basic textbook 
development project for secondary schools, in line with the Country partnership 
Strategy, which focused on tertiary-level textbooks and scientific–methodological 
literature in Latin script. all publications covered by future projects should include 
gender dimensions.
