EDUCATION

EDUCATION SYSTEM IN TAJIKISTAN.
"To study and to try is to get a big success for yourself and for your country". Emomali Rahmon said these golden words in his final election to hold a post of the president of Tajikistan. It was in 1992. These words opened the eyes of people to step to another type of life, to be free and study in new system of education.
With entering new system of education to Tajikistan, also was entered new type of schools. Thanks to our president that nowadays we have these new types of schools: such as secondary schools, lyceums, Tajik-Turkish high schools, gymnasiums, presidential lyceums and private schools. In every schools and lyceums lessons are taught differently. In secondary schools and lyceums, lessons are exceeding to six lessons. But in gymnasiums, Tajik-Turkish high schools, presidential lyceums and private schools, lessons are exceeding to eight lessons with additional lessons. In such kind of schools I have studied, but with some financial problems I transferred to secondary school where I started my first steps to get knowledge.
Lessons are starting at 8 o'clock and every student will attend to classes according to timetable that was written by administration of the school or the lyceum. All of the students must wear school uniform. It is such clothes like white shirt and black trousers. And also black shoes with black or dark blue tie. Our lessons last 45 minutes. The first 20 minutes students tell the homework and the rest 25 minutes teachers tell new unit to learn it at home.
During the lessons highflyers sit with those students who are lagging behind in learning. And both of them are doing their homework and this type of studying is helpful for us and it gives fruit I mean it gives good marks for student.
In Tajikistan this type of studying is prevalent and another countries are supported our new type of studying and teaching.
After the end of lessons each of the teachers invites these students to there club.
Each of these clubs is opens at definite time. As for me, I m member of English club and our teacher is Mrs. Zuhro Tolibovna. This club organized in 2000 year by Zuhro Tollibovna. And know she is the best teacher in our town and also in all Khatlon region.
Every week we organize "subject week". In "subject week" members of the clubs organize different games like matching words, crosswords or telling poems. It is so funny and refreshes our brains. When it is day of any poet we organize competition among all of the students. In this game who knows more than his or her rival.
Every year our Education Department and Ministry of Education organize competition among the students of Tajikistan. As for subject it is main competition and it was named "Olympiada among the students" to know how many percent of the students get good knowledge then the previous year. Who gets first, second or third place in Republican Olympiada he or she can enter any of those universities he or she wants to study. But it has several steps till we get to Republican Olympiada. The first round it city Olympiada and schools will compete with schools, and lyceums will compete with lyceums. In this round we have to write dictation and answer to teacher's questions. If we pass through the first round we will go to the second round. The second round is harder than the first round and we have to write an essay and answer toeach topic you take from the teacher's table.
After this round not all these students pass through the second round. Third round is Republican Olympiada and it is the main part of these Olympiadas. When I was in the tenth grade I passed through the second round and I went to Dushanbe city to this round. In this round students participate in competition that is only 11th grade. But I got permission to participate. In this round we can participate only outside of competition. We can only check our knowledge and know our marks. In the third round we wrote an essay, we had testing of our grammar and we have had to answer to teacher's questions. In my mind it is the best type of education. We can refresh our brains and we can show to everyone what our teachers taught us.
Boys and girls don't forget word's of the head of the Revolutionary V. I. Lenin. He said: "Study, study and one more time study".
