Russia will send Russian language teachers to Tajikistan

The Minister of Education of Russia, Sergey Kravtsov, informed the media that there is a shortage of teachers and textbooks in Tajikistan. For this reason, the Ministry of Education will send teachers of the Russian language, physics, biology, and chemistry to Russian schools in Tajikistan.

He also noted that textbooks in the Russian language will be sent to these schools. According to him, there are currently five Russian schools operating in Tajikistan.

“We are currently creating methodological centers based on these schools, sending teachers not only of the Russian language but also of physics, biology, and chemistry. We have agreed to prepare teachers for the Republic of Tajikistan at our centers and universities. An important decision has been made regarding the supply of textbooks in the Russian language,” Sergey Kravtsov said.

The Minister of Education of Russia also stated that the authorities are trying to promote Russian culture in Central Asian countries, and according to him, the Russian language is warmly welcomed in post-Soviet countries.

He mentioned that there are many people willing to go to Tajikistan, and the competition is nine applicants per position.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia will allocate 200 million rubles annually for the purchase of textbooks for Russian-speaking schools in Tajikistan. In addition, the quota for education in Russian universities for students from this country will be increased from 900 to 1,000 in 2024 and 2025.
