The 30% discount on contract-based tuition fees applies to the children of specialists from an approved list of pedagogical positions, including employees of private schools, kindergartens, and universities, according to clarifications by expert Khushnudbek Khudoyberdiev published by the Ministry of Preschool and School Education.

The right to the 30% benefit is granted to the children of workers whose positions are included in the list of professions related to pedagogical activities, registered by the Ministry of Justice on June 9, 2026, under No. 3849. This list includes 465 positions, including kindergarten educators. At the same time, the benefit also applies to employees of non-state educational institutions—private kindergartens, schools, and universities. The discount is not granted to the children of university tutors and teachers at learning centres, as these positions are not in the approved register.

The benefit will also be received by students studying under partial grant conditions: the 30% discount will be applied to the remaining 50% contract portion. If a family has already paid the fee for the 2026/2027 academic year in full or in part prior to the decision, the overpayment can be refunded or credited toward the next academic year.

Applications will be submitted via the kontrakt.edu.uz platform. Technical work is currently underway on the resource, and the launch of the process is expected roughly within one week. The application for the discount must be submitted by the student, not their parents.

What it means

A 30% contract discount can be obtained by children of educators covering 465 positions, including private sector staff; students apply personally via kontrakt.edu.uz, which will launch in about a week.
