Investigating the effect of economic training in education system in line with globalization in the formation of socio-economic policies

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the role of economic education in the system of education and its impact on socio-economic policy elaboration within globalization processes in Uzbekistan. The present study was conducted with a mixed approach and through data collection from a sample of 600 students, teachers, and policymakers in 2024. Quantitative findings demonstrated that 88% of teachers and 96% of policymakers believe that integrating economics into curricula is very important. In contrast, only 8% of participants had a high level of knowledge about the concept of foreign direct investment and 5% about the process of national budgeting. The correlation analyses underlined a positive and significant relation between the level of economic education and the support for national macro-policies: the correlation coefficient was 0.65 for teachers and 0.51 for students. Also, 89% of experts suggested that insufficient number of qualified teachers is the major barrier to successful implementation of economics education. These findings stress the urgent need for a basic revision of curricula and investment in teacher empowerment.
