In his interview the Deputy Minister of Education of the Republic of Tajikistan Rakhimov F.K. noted: “In general, primary vocational education is one of the priority directions in education and in targeted government policy of the Republic of Tajikistan, which is gradually developing. From year to year greater attention of people increases to receive vocational education in all spheres of education and therefore need for professional education is growing. Despite this, we have a number of difficulties, first and foremost this is due to the weak material-technical base and the mismatch of human resources of teachers of primary vocational education.
