The main direction of strategic development of the Republic of Uzbekistan is comprehensive modernization as an important factor of prosperity of the country factor, sustainable economic growth, providing population employment. Building a strong base of successful development of modernization process is impossible without participation in the process of education system, a leading role in which belongs to potential of higher educational institutions. In order to achieve the intended purpose in State program 2020 "The Year of Development of Science, Education and Digital Economy," there made a special emphasis on providing innovative character, digitalization of education system in accordance with social and economic challenges and digital economy. Pandemic coronavirus infection COVID-19 affected educational systems around the world, which led to the mass closure of schools and higher educational institutions. Almost all higher educational institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan transferred to distance learning from March 16, 2020.
