Abstract

Russians started conquering the parts of Central Asia from 17th century. During the next two centuries they conquered whole region. Subsequently after the glorious Revolution of 1917, it came under the Soviet rule. Russian Czars tried to introduce modern education in Central Asia, but they failed. Thereafter Soviets followed upon a programme of eliminating mass illiteracy. Not only mass illiteracy, they introduced special technical and higher education in the region. With the result in the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan there were two-thirds of populations having secondary and higher education. Besides different technicians were available to be employed in the flourishing industrial sector of USSR, The aim of this paper is to give a brief account to show how soviets eliminated mass illiteracy in the region and particularly how technical and higher education was introduced and developed in Uzbekistan under the Soviets.
