This study investigates the effect of the inflation rate on education spending in Uzbekistan from 2014 to 2023,with a specifc focus on the mediating roles of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), government revenue, and the povertyrate. Using a causal research design and secondary data from the World Development Indicators (WDI), this studyapplies mediation analysis through multiple regression techniques. The fndings reveal that inflation negatively impactseducation spending both directly and indirectly, primarily by slowing GDP growth, reducing government revenue, andexacerbating poverty levels. The results emphasize the urgent need for policymakers to stabilize macroeconomicvariables to safeguard education funding. Strengthening GDP growth, improving revenue collection, and implementingpoverty reduction strategies are critical to ensuring consistent investment in education amidst inflationary pressures.This research flls a signifcant gap by exploring these relationships in the context of a transitional economy and providesevidence-based insights for fscal policy improvements in Uzbekistan.
