EXISTING PROBLEMS AND WAYS TO OVERCOME THEM IN THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION BASED ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

Abstract

The article examines the features of the formation and functioning of the financial support system for preschool education in the Republic of Uzbekistan under the conditions of the active implementation of public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms. Based on the analysis of statistical data for 2017–2024, the factors behind the rapid growth in preschool education coverage, as well as systemic imbalances caused by the mismatch between the pace of institutional expansion and the development of financial instruments, are identified. The study substantiates the directions for improving the financial support model, taking into account regional differentiation and the investment-specific characteristics of the sector.
