The text book rental scheme (TRS) can serve as one of the models on textbook provision for other countries in Central Asia given the efficiency and effectiveness by which it was implemented. Contributing to the successful implementation of this scheme is the government's commitment and the design's alignment to government's priorities. Resources were used efficiently to establish functional arrangements that ensured sustainability of funding and made available and affordable textbooks to students and teacher's guides to teachers. Countries struggling with textbook provision could be encouraged to study the TRS in Uzbekistan. In turn, study visits could further strengthen the TRS by encouraging educators and the government in Uzbekistan to further improve its implementation. [Main text, paras. 34-35, 40, 45]
