The Uzbekistan Teachers of English Association (UzTEA) and ETS Global B.V. have officially signed a Strategic Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking an important step forward in strengthening English language teaching and assessment practices in Uzbekistan.

The agreement reflects a shared vision to support teachers, promote assessment literacy, and expand access to internationally recognized professional development opportunities.

What This Partnership Means

Through this cooperation, UzTEA and ETS Global will work together to:

  • Support teacher professional development through workshops, webinars, and training sessions
  • Develop Training-of-Trainers (ToT) programs to build national teaching capacity
  • Promote TOEFL iBT® assessment literacy in a responsible, non-commercial manner
  • Encourage research and academic collaboration in English language teaching
  • Strengthen teacher communities through conferences and professional events, including activities linked to UzTEA’s 30th anniversary in 2026

This MoU is not just about programs — it is about long-term impact. Combining ETS Global’s international expertise with UzTEA’s strong national teacher network, the partnership aims to ensure that educators across Uzbekistan are better equipped to guide learners toward global academic and professional pathways.

The partnership sets the foundation for new learning opportunities, stronger assessment practices, and a more connected professional teaching community nationwide. As UzTEA moves toward celebrating 30 years of teacher leadership in 2026, this collaboration represents another milestone in its mission to empower educators and elevate English language education across Uzbekistan.
