We encourage cooperation within the CAEP

to share experiences and lessons learned between

our countries as well as within the EU on the

approach to evidence based policy and to improve

efficiency, including tools and methods, as well as

the role of stakeholders.

I would like to briefly inform you about the

content of career guidance in our country.

By the Decision of Council of Ministers of

the USSR from July 11, 1986, №1430-Р and the

USSR State Committee from March 11, 1987,

№13 the Career Guidance Centre of Dushanbe

was established. By the Decision of the above-

mentioned bodies in October 1990 on the basis of

this Centre, the Republican Centre for the Career

Guidance of Population in the structure of the

State Committee for Labour of the Republic was

established. During this time, the Centre has

changed its name many times, but the content of

its work remains career guidance to the

population.

Currently, career guidance to the

population is assigned to the State Institution

"Republican Centre of Career Guidance" of

the Labour and Employment Agency of the

Ministry of labour, migration and

employment of the Republic of Tajikistan.

The Centre has its own structure in regional

centres and large cities and regions of the

Republic.

In order to develop career guidance, the

Government of the Republic of Tajikistan

adopted Resolutions on December 30, 2015,

№794 "On the Programme of career

guidance development in 2016-2020" and on

February 10, 2016, № 66 "On the concept of

career guidance of students in the Republic

of Tajikistan".

The implementation of the above mentioned

documents is in daily control and allow to

improve the quality of career guidance among

different groups of the population in choosing a

profession and the necessary work.

The Ministry of labour, migration and

employment of the Republic of Tajikistan

systematically provides information to the

Government on the implementation of these

Resolutions.

Currently, the public institutions of higher education conduct

training in 505 disciplines, the public institutions of secondary

vocational education is conducted in 166, the public institutions

of initial vocational education - in 96 disciplines and learning

centres conduct training in 35 disciplines.
