Raising children and adolescents in the spirit of national and universal values, love for the homeland, national identity and self-knowledge, as well as developing individuals with high moral character, a sense of responsibility, and creative thinking, are identified as the most important tasks of the state, society, and families. It was noted that through annual addresses and speeches, society is guided toward achieving strategic goals and building a civilized society.
Davlatshoh Gulmahmadzoda also stated that the President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon views education and healthcare as the foundation for the development of society, emphasizing the need to improve the quality of education, train competitive specialists, and improve medical services.
