These EGR Barometer data are from the 2021 National Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) for Uzbekistan. This national survey was conducted by the Ministry of Public Education (MOPE) of the Republic of Uzbekistan with support from USAID. The purpose of the assessment was to provide the MOPE relevant data on student learning to inform education reform efforts in Uzbekistan.
The survey was conducted at the beginning of grades 3 and 5 across Uzbekistan. Reading performance was measured for all languages used as mediums of instruction in school (Uzbek, Russian, Karakalpak, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, or Turkmen). In addition, students attending non-Uzbek-language schools were also assessed in Uzbek as a second language.
