In Uzbekistan, parents' responsibility for the upbringing and education of children has been tightened

In Uzbekistan, administrative liability of parents for improper upbringing of children, involvement of minors in religious education, and obstruction of obtaining compulsory education has been tightened. The corresponding amendments were signed by the president, according to his official website.

For failure to fulfill duties regarding the upbringing and education of minors, the fine has been increased from 1–5 to 5–10 basic calculating values (BCV). If the violation is repeated within a year, the amount will be 10–15 BCV instead of the previous 5–10 BCV.

A fine ranging from 10 to 15 BCV has now been established for the illegal involvement of a child in religious education. Previously, it was 5–10 BCV. In the event of a repeated violation within a year, a fine of 15 to 20 BCV or administrative arrest for up to 15 days is provided.

In addition, fines for obstructing children from obtaining compulsory general secondary, specialized secondary, and vocational education have increased. They will now amount to 15–20 BCV instead of the previous 10–15 BCV. For a repeated violation, a fine of 20 to 30 BCV or administrative arrest for up to 15 days is envisaged.

A fine of 5 to 10 BCV is also introduced for the lack of necessary care for a minor. This is defined as the intentional failure to meet the basic needs of a child, provided that the parents or other persons responsible for care have the necessary capabilities, knowledge, and skills. Such inaction must lead to impairment of the child's health, or physical, mental, or moral development.
