Tajikistan intends to continue the project of inviting teachers from Russia to work in local schools, minister of education and science Mahmadyusuf Imomzoda told RIA Novosti.
"We consider this project very successful and want to increase the number of Russian teachers working in Tajikistan's schools," he said.
The minister said the issue "will be discussed during a visit to Tajikistan in mid-November by Russian Federation Council speaker Valentina Matvienko, who is patronizing the project."
"As part of the program to strengthen the study of exact sciences in Tajikistan, we are in great need of Russian-speaking teachers who teach exact and natural sciences," Imomzoda said. He noted that all teachers from Russia like working in Tajikistan, all conditions for work and life are created for them.
In 2017, Russian and Tajik presidents Vladimir Putin and Emomali Rahmon decided to launch a humanitarian project to promote the Russian language and to build five Russian schools in the republic.
The first group of 29 Russian teachers arrived in Tajikistan in late August 2017. In the next school year, 48 teachers from Russia expressed their willingness to work in Tajikistan, and in 2020 there were 50.
Now they teach the Russian language and literature, mathematics, biology, geography, physics and chemistry in 22 secondary schools in Tajikistan: in Dushanbe, as well as cities - Khujand, Bokhtar, Kulyab, Khorog, Gissar, Dangar, Rasht, Asht, Kushoniyon, Buston and Gafur district.
