USAID-Funded Junior Achievement Programs Received Tajik Ministry of Education
Approval
Junior Achievement has received approval from the Ministry of Education of Tajikistan to train teachers in
Junior Achievement programs in partnership with teacher retraining institutes. Junior Achievement signed partnership contracts with the National Retraining Institute in Dushanbe and four Regional Retraining Institutes in Kurgan-Tube, Khojand, Khorog, and Kulyab. According to the agreements, the institutes will provide training venues and invite participants, whereas Junior Achievement will provide trainers and training materials. Initially, at least 200 teachers will be trained, 50 from each region. As partnership relations develop, the parties plan to open teacher resource centers at the retraining institutes. USAID has provided more than $200,000 to date in support of Junior Achievement’s work in Tajikistan. The organization provides business and economics education at schools and is training young people to understand the risks and rewards of free market enterprise to strengthen the market economies of Central Asia.
