The Government of Uzbekistan is advancing education reforms to support competency-based education (CBE) and improve learning outcomes. Through the Smart-ED Project for Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Education Services, UNICEF, in partnership with national counterparts, is supporting efforts to strengthen systems for evaluating and developing teachers and school leaders across preschool and general secondary education, including the introduction of performance appraisal mechanisms. Uzbekistan has established professional standards, teacher attestation, and school leader certification systems, providing a strong foundation for accountability, career progression, and professional growth. As reforms continue, there is an opportunity to further strengthen these systems to better support the competencies required for effective teaching and leadership in a CBE environment. International experience shows that effective teacher quality systems combine periodic attestation with continuous performance appraisal that provides regular feedback, mentoring, and professional development opportunities. Building on ongoing reforms, this assignment will strengthen the existing teacher attestation system and develop a performance appraisal framework for teachers and school leaders aligned with professional standards, competency-based education, and the national education quality assurance framework. The assignment will also develop practical tools, guidelines, and capacity-building resources to support implementation and promote continuous professional growth, school improvement, and better learning outcomes.
