IMPLEMENTING THE MONTESSORI METHOD WITHIN THE UZBEKISTAN EDUCATION SYSTEM: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract:

This article explores the theoretical and practical frameworks for integrating the Montessori pedagogical system into the educational landscape of Uzbekistan. As the nation prioritizes the development of autonomous, creative, and critically thinking youth, the Montessori approach provides a robust alternative to traditional instructional models. The paper examines the synergy between Montessori principles and the National Curriculum, identifies potential cultural and economic barriers, and proposes a localized model for vocational and language education.
