Today, Barno Saidvalizoda, Chairman of the Committee on Science, Education, Culture, and Youth Policy, met with Vincent Bigott, an official from the European Union headquarters in Brussels.
The meeting noted the exceptional focus placed by the country's top leadership, particularly President Emomali Rahmon of the Republic of Tajikistan, on the education sector.
In his Annual Address to the Majlisi Oli (December 16, 2025), His Excellency Emomali Rahmon stated:
“From the very first days of my activity as Head of State until the present, I have declared support for and development of science and education as priority areas, and for more than three decades, I have shown primary and continuous attention to these vitally important sectors.”
Barno Saidvalizoda emphasized, “Relying on the education-oriented policy of our country’s top leadership, we, the people’s deputies, can contribute to the development of the education sector by implementing strategic goals under rapidly changing conditions, taking into account new transformations, the emergence of the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and similar factors.”
The meeting highlighted that the sector of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Tajikistan is considered an important and priority direction within the country's education system.
Saidvalizoda stated, "We pay great attention to developing thinking and creative human intellect. Our achievements in a number of areas, particularly in financial management, are notable, including through the transition to non-cash payment systems. Favorable legal foundations have been created in the field of technical and vocational education, especially through the adoption of the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan “On Higher Professional Education and Postgraduate Professional Education.”
Therefore, we hope that your activities will contribute to improving elements of technical and vocational education, expanding joint efforts to implement new modern technologies, including the wide use of artificial intelligence capabilities and the study of related technologies.”
