Keywords:

This study examines the implementation of digital technologies in higher education under the “Digital Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy. The research investigates digital infrastructure, teacher and student digital competence, and the role of AI, LMS, AR/VR, and Big Data in learning. A case study of eight universities across Tashkent, Samarkand, Nukus, and Andijan shows progress in digital infrastructure, while challenges remain in teacher literacy and student demand for personal interaction. Hybrid learning, e-assessment systems, and national platforms are key drivers. Recommendations include enhancing teacher training, improving infrastructure, and maintaining the human dimension in education.
