Abstract

Uzbekistan, one of the top five cotton-producing countries in the world, primarily focuses its textile and fashion industry on raw cotton exports and the sewing industry. For Uzbekistan to achieve high added value, it is essential for the textile and fashion industry, which is currently at the CMT(cut, make, and trim) stage, to upgrade to OEM (original equipment manufacturing), ODM (original design manufacturing), and OBM (original brand manufacturing). South Korea recognizes Uzbekistan as a potential manufacturing base and trading partner and has invested Official Development Assistance (ODA) funds for the development of Uzbekistan's textiles and apparel sector. This study aims to evaluate Uzbekistan's fashion higher education in the context of global competitiveness and measure the need and prospects for education ODA from the Korean government in this field. Comprehensive investigations, including surveys of academics, industry experts, and government officials, in-depth interviews, and focus group interviews, were conducted to understand Uzbekistan's current fashion education environment. According to the research results, despite the textile and fashion sectors playing a pivotal role in the Uzbek economy, there is room for improvement in the curricula and teaching and learning methods of the fashion higher education programs. This study holds significance as foundational data for establishing education ODA strategies.

세계 5대 면화 생산국인 우즈베키스탄의 섬유·패션산업은 주로 원면 수출과 봉제산업에 중점을 두고 있다. 우즈베키스탄이 고부가가치를 달성하기 위해서는 CMT(cut, make and trim)단계에 있는 섬유·패션산업이 OEM(original equipment manufacturing), ODM(original design manufacturing), OBM(original brand manufacturing)으로 발전하는 것이 필수적이다. 한국은 우즈베키스탄을 잠재적인 제조기지이자 무역 파트너로서 인식하고 우즈베키스탄의 섬유 및 의류 분야의 발전을 위해 공적개발원조(ODA) 자금을 투입해 왔다. 본 연구는 글로벌 경쟁력의 맥락에서 우즈베키스탄의 패션 고등교육을 평가하고, 이 분야에서 한국 정부의 교육 ODA의 필요성과 전망을 측정하는 것을 목표로 한다. 우즈베키스탄의 현재 패션 교육 환경에 대한 종합적인 조사를 위하여 학계, 업계 전문가 및 정부 관계자의 설문조사, 개별 심층면접, 집단 심층면접법(Focus Group Interview) 등을 수행하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 섬유 및 패션 부문이 우즈베키스탄 경제에 중추적인 역할을 하고 있음에도 불구하고 패션 고등교육 프로그램의 교육과정과 교수·학습방법에는 개선의 여지가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 교육 ODA 전략 수립을 위한 기초자료로서 의의를 갖는다.
