prestigious higher educational institutions, scientific and
educational centers of the world.
In order to improve activities in this area,
the President of Turkmenistan set the task to include
the country's higher educational institutions in the list of
international higher educational institutions by 2024.
In the fifth edition of the global annual
impactrating THE “Impact Rankings-2023”, eight higher
educational institutions of Turkmenistan were immediately
evaluated, as well as were highly appreciated by independent
international experts “Times Higher Education (THE)”.
THE Impact Rankings has been
conducted since 2019 and is currently
the only global performance ranking. The list ranks universities based on
their achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
created by the United Nations, which aim to
increase the level of socialand economic development.
Eight higher education institutions of the country have taken a
strong place among higher education institutions
striving for higher performance and entered the world ranking THE “Impact
Rankings-2023”. They are: the International University of
Humanitiesa nd Development, the Oguz Han Engineering and Technology
University, the State Energy Institute of Turkmenistan, the Institute of
Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan, the
Turkmen Agricultural Institute, the Turkmen State Institute of
Architecture and Construction, the Turkmen State Institute of Economics
and Management and the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil
and Gas University.Higher educational institutions of Turkmenistan were
included in the “Impact Rankings-2023” for their active and
effective participation inthe 11 goals of Sustainable Development Goals:
“Quality of Education”, “Affordable and Clean Energy”, “Industry,
Innovation and Infrastructure”, “Zero Hunger”, “Gender Equality”, “Dry
Call” “Protection of the Earth's ecosystem”, “Health and well-being”,
“Clean water and sanitation”, “Fair work and economic development”,
“Sustainable cities and towns” and “Partnerships to achieve the goals”.
Each of the higher educational institutions demonstrated their commitment
to four goals, including SDG 17 (collaboration to achieve thegoals).
Higher education institutions
participating in the ranking can provide information to assess
the desirability of the UN SDG.The overall
ranking includes institutions that provided information on
SDG 17 (collaboration to achieve the goals) and at least three
other SDGs. The university's overall score on the overall list
is calculated by adding its SDG17 score to the top three scores on
other SDG scores. The English organization Times
Higher Education, based in London, is recognized as one of the
leading organizations in the world ranking of prestigious and
popular higher education institutions. Nearly 1,600 higher education
institutions from 112 countries have participated in
THE Impact 2023. The number of participants in the ranking is
increasing every year, as more institutions strive to demonstrate their
commitment toachieving the SDGs and join the prestigious global list of
The Impact Rankings.The rating encourages its participants to show high success
in achieving theSDGs, introduce new methods and effectively improve
activities in this area,provide the organizers with more visible and
transparent evidence of their progress.
It should be noted that six of the eight higher education institutions mentioned above are included in this ranking for the first time. The Yashygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University and the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan are included in the list of higher educational institutions of the world for the second time.Last year, these two universities were included in the fourth publication of THE Impact Rankings-2022 for the first time. In recent years, higher educational institutions of Turkmenistan have been highly appreciated by foreign experts.They have taken places in prestigious world rankings and, accordingly, have received recognition at the world level. This is a clear evidence of the large-scale and effective activities carried out in the field of science and education in the country. International achievements, degrees and acoomplishments of higher educational institutions of the country show the quality and level of training of specialists in the country and contribute to solving one of the main problems of the country, which is to raise the national education systemto the level of world standards and include higher educational institutions inthe list the world's leading higher educational institutions.
