The delegation was led by Anna Gutkowska-Zając, Regional Director for Eurasia and Central Asia at Educational Testing Service (ETS).
During the visit, both parties engaged in comprehensive discussions focused on enhancing the quality of education. Key areas of cooperation included professional development for faculty, the organization of joint training sessions, seminars, and webinars based on ETS-certified modern content, and the implementation of advanced methodologies in English language teaching.
Particular emphasis was placed on effective preparation for the TOEFL iBT examination, improving assessment literacy among students and educators, and fostering a systematic approach to international certification. In addition, both sides explored opportunities to establish a solid foundation for global academic mobility.
As a significant outcome of the visit, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two institutions. The document outlines clear strategic priorities aimed at improving educational quality, expanding the adoption of innovative approaches, and strengthening international integration.
This partnership is expected to further reinforce long-term collaboration between the International Nordic University and ETS, contributing to sustainable development in education and broader global engagement.
Point of View: A Powerful Force Showcasing National Prestige
In an article published in the Xalq so‘zi newspaper and authored by the Rector of the International Nordic University, Sherzod Mustafakulov, the key priorities emphasized during the meeting are thoroughly analyzed, alongside a number of forward-looking approaches and proposals aimed at building an effective system.
As highlighted in the article, a continuous vertical integration model — “school–federation–university” — ensures the consistent development of talented youth, while individualized development programs remain crucial for each athlete. Particular attention is also given to advancing the sports economy, establishing clubs and academies, ensuring digital transparency, and strengthening the integration of science and sports. Sport, it is argued, should become one of the central pillars of the national development strategy.
To deepen the analysis, the article also examines the best international practices in promoting mass sports development.
