			In Uzbekistan, eleven years of primary and secondary education are obligatory, starting at age seven. This requirement includes four years of primary school and two cycles of secondary school, lasting five and two years, respectively.

			The rate of attendance in those grades is high, although the figure is significantly lower in rural areas than in urban centers. Preschool registration has decreased significantly since 1991.

			The official literacy rate is 99 percent. However, in recent years educational standards are said to have fallen. Between 1992 and 2004, government spending on education dropped from 12 percent to 6.3 percent of gross domestic product - but in 2006 education's share of the budget increased to 8.1 percent.

	''Uzbekistan'', officially the '''Republic of Uzbekistan''' (Uzbek: '''O‘zbekiston Respublikasi''' or '''Ўзбекистон Республикаси'''), is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, formerly part of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with [[Kazakhstan]] to the west and to the north, [[Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Tajikistan]] to the east, and [[Afghanistan]] and [[Turkmenistan]] to the south.

			'''Languages'''

			The official state language is Uzbek. The Tajik language is widespread in the cities of Bukhara and Samarqand because of their relatively large population of ethnic Tajiks.

			Russian is an important language for interethnic communication, especially in the cities, including much day-to-day technical, scientific, governmental and business use. Russian is the main language of over 14% of the population and is spoken as a second language by many more. However, the use of Russian in remote rural areas has always been limited, and today school children have no proficiency in Russian even in urban centres. However, it was reported in 2003 that over half of the population could speak Russian.

			In 1992 Uzbekistan officially shifted back to Latin script, but many signs and notices (including official government boards in the streets) are still written in Uzbek Cyrillic script (used since 1940). Computers as a rule operate using the "Uzbek Cyrillic" keyboard, and Latin script is reportedly composed using the standard English keyboard.
