Create and develop institutional structures, such as community learning centres with a
view to developing local communities. In Uzbekistan, such structures are hardly found,
but in many successful countries, they function effectively. In international practice they
are known as Community Learning Centres (CLCs); in considering the landscape of
the ALE institutions in Uzbekistan, lack of such institutions is immediately apparent. At
the same time, those established in rural areas could significantly level the geographic
imbalance of the ALE institutions;
Develop the measures to increase motivation and ensure universal access to adult
education. Encourage general education / cultural programs that "give a second

outcomes;
