The Minister of Education and Science of Tajikistan stated at a press conference of the ministry in Dushanbe on July 19 that most school and university graduates have gone to serve in the army of their own accord.

“In reality, this year we have received a large number of volunteers from educational institutions. The graduates themselves submitted applications, we took them into account, studied them, and they voluntarily went to the army,” the minister said.

According to the latest data from the ministry, 2,333 graduates of secondary and higher educational institutions voluntarily went to serve in the army.

The Minister of Education emphasized that according to the current legislation of the country, only those who have served in the army are recruited into the law enforcement agencies. “Therefore, most of those who went to serve in the army graduated from universities with a legal focus,” the minister reported.

While the Minister of Education and Science of Tajikistan claims that students and graduates are going to serve in the army “voluntarily,” numerous reports have emerged during the conscription season about the authorities conducting “raids” on conscripts, indicating that most conscripts were sent to the army forcibly.
