During the visit, the Russian
Deputy Prime Minister met with Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan
Kokhir Rasulzoda. They discussed the current status of Russian-Tajik trade and
economic cooperation and its prospects. The discussion also focused on
expanding cooperation in education and science, the industry, the energy
sector, transport, the digital economy, banking operations, investment, customs
regulation and agriculture.
The Russian officials praised
the construction of five Russian-language schools in Dushanbe, Khujand,
Bokhtar, Kulob and Tursunzoda. Each school will accommodate 1,200 children. The
schools’ curricula, which will be based on the best Russian methodologies, meet
the requirements of Tajikistan’s education system.
“In August 2020, when we met
with President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, we had an in-depth
discussion on higher and secondary education and the importance of Russian
language studies. He devotes great attention to this matter. Today, we have
seen how the construction is proceeding here in Dushanbe and in four other
cities of the republic. All these schools are being built simultaneously with
the support of the Government of the Russian Federation. The Republic of
Tajikistan has allotted good land plots, and the schools are conveniently
located. We hope that 6,000 pupils, from the 1st through 11th
grades, will be able to study at these schools from 1 September 2022. These are
big numbers. For Russia, this is the first large-scale project of this type. We
are doing our best to provide children with high-quality teaching aids and to
install up-to-date equipment in classrooms. Everyone realises that this matter
is highly important and responsible, and that it brings our countries closer
together,” Alexei Overchuk said.
The status of Russian teachers
and the newly-built schools’ principles of operation are formalised by two
intergovernmental agreements, signed during the visit by representatives of the
Russian Federation’s Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and
Science of the Republic of Tajikistan.
