INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL AGENDA OF THE ORGANIZATION OF TURKIC STATES: ACHIEVEMENTS, CHALLENGES, AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Faragat Tagaeva ,

Abstract

The article analyzes cooperation in the field of education within the framework of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), focusing on institutional mechanisms and strategic guidelines of the "Vision of the Turkic World - 2040," the "Strategy for 2025-2026," as well as decisions from meetings of education ministers. Special attention is given to the provisions of the "Charter of the Turkic World," which establishes value-normative guidelines and provides a practical dimension for educational integration within the OTS. Key initiatives are examined, including academic mobility through the "Orkhun Exchange Program" (Orkhun Process), the "sister schools" model, the Al-Khwarizmi Turkic Youth Olympiad, preparation of school textbooks on "General Turkic History," "General Turkic Literature," "General Turkic Geography," the digital language agenda (Big Turkic Language Model), and the role of the Turkic Academy in education. Special emphasis is placed on Uzbekistan as one of the key initiators of integration processes: digitalization of education, coordination of the Olympiad direction, development of educational materials, and expansion of the partnership network within the "Orkhun Process." The contribution of the Union of Turkic Universities (TURKUNIB) and the International Organization of Turkic Culture (TÜRKSOY) to the formation of a unified educational space for Turkic countries is highlighted.
