The aim of the paper is to examine the<br />significance of women leaders in education in the context of Uzbekistan which is a developing<br />country that is striving to succeed in many areas by improving the quality of education. The<br />study reflects on the status of Uzbek women in society, including the self-perception of their<br />rights in the family and society, the importance of female leadership, and the role of female<br />leaders in higher education. On the basis of the presented analysis, the opportunities and<br />challenges of female leadership in field of higher education in Uzbekistan are discussed. The<br />paper concludes with recommendations for further development of women leadership in<br />higher education. The considerations presented in the paper are thus guided by the following<br />research questions: "What is the status of women in the society of Uzbekistan?", "Are women<br />encouraged to take leadership positions in Uzbekistan?", "What problems need to be addressed<br />to develop the field of ’female leadership in education’ in Uzbekistan?" The paper explores<br />these questions by reviewing the relevant literature published internationally and in the<br />country. The findings of the study and the recommendations can contribute to the<br />development of gender equality and female leadership in education in Uzbekistan.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Education in the 21st Century}, author={Madalinska-Michalak, Joanna and Mamadaminova, Nigora}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={192–202} }
