Education in Uzbekistan
Education in Uzbekistan is generally managed by the Ministry of preschool and school education of the Republic of Uzbekistan with some other agencies and bodies responsible in certain areas as prescribed by the President of Uzbekistan. == History == === Middle ages (9th - 16th century) === In historical Uzbekistan and general Central Asia, written records attest to the existence of institutions devoted to educational and scientific pursuits in the form of madrasas since at least the 9th century AD. Under the reign of the Samanids, madrasas were found in cities such as Samarkand, Termez, Fergana and Khorezm, continuing to develop during the 10th to 12th century all around Central Asia as these cities boomed and became local centers of education and science during what is considered a cultural renaissance in the region.
