This research article examines the comparative analysis of global educational assessment models and their potential implementation within Uzbekistan’s education system. The study explores the assessment approaches of several leading educational systems, including those of the United States, Finland, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, highlighting the advantages, challenges, and cultural factors that shape these models. Through a comprehensive review, the article assesses the relevance and adaptability of these models to Uzbekistan's specific educational context, considering the country’s unique socio-economic challenges, regional disparities, and ongoing reforms. Additionally, the paper offers recommendations for integrating global best practices into Uzbekistan’s education system, focusing on teacher development, formative and summative assessments, and leveraging technology for data-driven decision-making. The findings aim to provide insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to improve the quality of education in Uzbekistan through effective assessment practices.
