Higher education institutions (HEIs) in Uzbekistan operate under different ownership forms public, private, and foreign-affiliated reflecting the institutional diversity of the national higher education system and shaping regional education markets. This paper aims to describe the regional ownership structure of HEIs by calculating and comparing ownership shares across administrative units. The analysis uses an original dataset covering 14 regions and three ownership categories, comprising a total of 207 HEIs.
