The value of Extracurricular activities (ECA) is underestimated in the field of Higher and Secondary Education of Uzbekistan. Present work is revealing hidden potential of ECA to advance students capacity. Using unique data collected on the basis of in-depth interviews with the administration of the first international university in Uzbekistan with British accreditation , the authors tried to expand the scope of preliminary studies of the relationship of extracurricular activities with academic achievement, development of skills and the role of parents in shaping interest in extracurricular activities of students. The results demonstrate: (a) the impact of extracurricular activities on academic performance and skills development; (b) the effectiveness of the parental approach, based on a personal experience; (c) the importance of public and domestic works (unstructured extracurricular activities) in the development of the individual.

Using unique data collected on the basis of in-depth interviews with the administration of the first international university in Uzbekistan with British accreditation, the authors tried to expand the scope of preliminary studies of the relationship of extracurricular activities with academic achievement, development of skills and the role of parents in shaping interest in extracurricular activities of students
The information is collected through the following semi-structured questions: What are the memories of participating in extracurricular activities? What was the reaction of the parents to the decision to engage in extracurricular activities? How do extracurricular activities affect student achievement and skills development? What needs to be changed in the organization of extracurricular activities? The text of each interview was translated in Word format, to check against an audio record for correctness of information. (Did we adopt these questions from some other researchers, if so, we should indicate)

Summary

Introduction

Extra-curricular activities contribute to academic success, develop skills required in the labor market and demonstrate the uniqueness of WIUT. Investigating foreign experience, the research team dwelled on the experience of the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR). This system of accounting for the achievements of extracurricular activities of students unites 100 higher educational institutions of Great Britain and provides safe access to the information base of the achievements of students in the nonacademic sphere. WIUT was established in 2002, and today it organizes extracurricular activities, taking into account the formation of skills required in the labor market of Uzbekistan. The relationship between extracurricular activities, academic achievement and development of skills is the subject of this study.
