Comparative models of education legislation: an analytical overview
Shokhjakhon Khujayev , Head of Department at Tashkent state university of law, UzbekistanAbstract
Legislation is a living organism: it develops and adapts over time. Its effectiveness is determined not merely by the number of enacted provisions but by their quality, internal coherence, and fitness for purpose. Among fundamental human rights entrenched in nearly all constitutions and statutory systems is the right to education. Yet comparative practice shows that the improvement of education law admits no single, universal template. Each State calibrates legal design to its socio-economic trajectory and its political-legal traditions and values.
