Uzbekistan's education system consists of 11 years of compulsory education, divided into primary (grades 1-4), secondary (grades 5-9), and upper or vocational (grades 10-11) education. While some sources mention the possibility of elective subjects in high school, specific examples of elective subjects offered in the 9th grade are not readily available. The Ministry of Public Education of Uzbekistan oversees the curriculum, and further research into official government publications or contacting the Ministry directly may be necessary to obtain a definitive list of 9th-grade electives.
