Speech of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan at the ceremony of inauguration of Cambridge Worldwide Academy Tajikistan in Dushanbe
Distinguished teachers and students!
Dear guests!
As the residents of the capital remember, yet in April 2017 we laid a foundation stone for the construction of “Cambridge Worldwide Academy Tajikistan” school.
So, after one and a half year, construction of this premium education institution is completed and started its operation now.
On this occasion, I with great delight to extend sincere congratulation to dedicated team of teachers and students of this newly constructed institution and the professional staff of education department of Dushanbe city.
May I also thank all those who contributed to the construction of this allow me to say “palace of knowledge and education”, including societies “Architecture and City Planning” and “Educational Centre “Ganjina”.
Over the years of independence and particularly since the year 2000, dozens of comprehensive secondary schools have been built and commissioned in our country in a close and productive cooperation with a number of our friendly countries, development partners and international organizations with the view to improve opportunities for education and training of specialists meeting labor market requirements.
At the same time, branches of many higher education institutions of developed countries have been established in Dushanbe over this period of time.
In this context, the University of Central Asia has been inaugurated few days back in Khorugh city of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, that I do strongly believe will make a worthy contribution to the cause of further training of qualified and professional specialists of international level from among the talented young people of Tajikistan and other countries of the region.
The state and the Government of Tajikistan mobilize all existing opportunities in this field so that better condition for education of our children are created and the future generation of our homeland gain modern state-of-the-art knowledge and skills.
Oxford and Cambridge universities of the Great Britain are considered as the most famous and prestigious education institutions all over the world, and education in such world-class institutions is the dream of every ambitious young person.
However, for admission to such universities, applicants need to be comprehensively trained and not all the wishers can meet their requirements.
We therefore have decided to establish Cambridge Worldwide Academy School in our country and to train our young generation in this learning environment enabling and at the same time helping young people pave the way towards higher education they may gain from these universities.

Dear guests!
Ladies and gentlemen!
The establishment of the school of one of the world’s developed education institutions in our country gives an opportunity for our talented young people, growing generation of independent Tajikistan acquire fundamental knowledge and modern skills.
In their turn, our young people should precisely understand that in order to master the knowledge and modern skills they have to exert superb efforts, sincerely love their Motherland, be an example in behavior and diligence for others and always try to seek knowledge.
