RF Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the Order.
The Government of the Russian Federation intends to make provision for $30 million to build Russian-language schools in Tajikistan. RF Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the relevant resolution on December 18, the official internet-portal of legal information reported on December 21.
The funds will be provided in two allotments. The first allotment of $3 million will be sent to the Republic at the end of the year. In 2021, Dushanbe will receive $27 million from the RF Government.
Educational institutions will be built as part of the 2nd stage of the interstate project implementation plan and an advance payment at the 3rd stage of construction and installation work.
Schools will be built in Dushanbe, Kulyab, Khujand, Bokhtar and Tursunzade. The instructions to ensure that the Russian Federation would make voluntary contributions for this purpose were given on April 17, 2019. At that time, the countries signed the five-year agreement for construction of general education institutions that would provide training in the Russian language in the Republic of Tajikistan.
As was reported, on July 20, Rector at the Russian-Tajik (Slavonic) University Tokhir Khojazoda said that a new building of Russian-language school 14, designed for 1,200 schoolchildren, would be put into operation in Dushanbe in late 2020.
