Although women are generally considered good leaders and educators, they are not
always the ones who occupy leadership positions in various fields, which is the case in many
countries around the world and also in Uzbekistan. The aim of the paper is to examine the
significance of women leaders in education in the context of Uzbekistan which is a developing
country that is striving to succeed in many areas by improving the quality of education. The
study reflects on the status of Uzbek women in society, including the self-perception of their
rights in the family and society, the importance of female leadership, and the role of female
leaders in higher education. On the basis of the presented analysis, the opportunities and
challenges of female leadership in field of higher education in Uzbekistan are discussed. The
paper concludes with recommendations for further development of women leadership in
higher education. The considerations presented in the paper are thus guided by the following
research questions: "What is the status of women in the society of Uzbekistan?", "Are women
encouraged to take leadership positions in Uzbekistan?", "What problems need to be addressed
to develop the field of 'female leadership in education' in Uzbekistan?" The paper explores
these questions by reviewing the relevant literature published internationally and in the
country. The findings of the study and the recommendations can contribute to the
development of gender equality and female leadership in education in Uzbekistan.
