Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon stated the need to take immediate steps to transition the country to a 12-year education system. The head of state made this announcement during his address to the Majlisi Oli (National Assembly) "On the Main Directions of the Republic's Domestic and Foreign Policy."
According to analysis, the number of students in Tajikistan will reach four million over the next 25 years. Therefore, the President believes it is necessary to train more teachers in advance, build new educational institutions, and bring the education system into line with international standards.
Emomali Rahmon instructed the Government to comprehensively review the implementation of the National Education Development Strategy for the period up to 2030 and, if necessary, improve it in light of new educational goals.
The President noted that, with the aim of integrating Tajikistan's education system into a unified international framework, the transition to a credit system at higher education institutions in the capital began in 2004, and by 2014, all institutions in the capital had fully transitioned to this system. According to the head of state, the time has come to analyze the effectiveness of the implemented system, assess its pros and cons with an expert group, and eliminate human error as much as possible in current and final exams.
Emomali Rahmon also instructed the competent authorities, including the National Testing Center under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, to provide the Presidential Executive Office with detailed information on this issue within two months. Additionally, a working group was tasked with analyzing the study of foreign languages, particularly Russian and English, at all levels of education and presenting substantiated conclusions to expedite this process.
"We must remember that the future of the state and the nation directly depends on an educated, literate generation, skilled in their professions, with a sufficient level of education and culture, free from fanaticism, raised in the spirit of patriotism, and possessing a strong sense of nationalism," emphasized Tajik President Emomali Rahmon.
