On September 22, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, inaugurated the new building of General Education Institution No. 26 “Nuri Rahmon” in the city of Khujand.
The modern educational facility was built as part of the Government’s education-oriented policy and in honour of the sacred occasion — the 35th Anniversary of State Independence — in accordance with international requirements and incorporating modern architectural designs and elements.
The modern four-storey school was constructed with funds from the budget of the Executive Body of State Power of Sughd Province to improve the learning and educational environment and promote the development of science and education. The institution is designed to accommodate 4,000 students in two shifts.
Construction of the facility began in 2025 and was completed within one year to a high standard and with quality workmanship.
The institution has 73 classrooms, including 15 specialized subject rooms equipped with the necessary visual aids and equipment. These include classrooms for chemistry, biology, physics, geography, mathematics, computer studies and foreign languages, as well as technology workshops for boys and girls and a pre-military training room.
The educational institution has also created favourable conditions for the intellectual development of children, the acquisition of modern knowledge, and participation in various engaging educational and recreational activities.
The institution also has educational laboratories, teachers’ offices, traditional and electronic libraries, a medical station, a cafeteria with 200 seats, and an assembly hall with 300 seats.
A total of 38 teachers are engaged in educating and teaching students at this centre of knowledge and learning. The educational process is monitored through video surveillance cameras.
A National Museum has also been established at the newly constructed educational institution. It contains photographs reflecting the history and achievements of the country, as well as the life and activities of the Head of State. The presence of such a museum will directly contribute to strengthening patriotic feelings among adolescents and young people and fostering respect for the continuous and dedicated efforts of President Emomali Rahmon in the development and progress of independent Tajikistan.
The spacious and well-equipped sports hall at the institution provides facilities for football, volleyball, basketball, table tennis and chess. It contributes to promoting a healthy lifestyle and strengthening the physical fitness of students.
The sports ground is another important advantage of the school in terms of developing physical education and sports. The provision of such facilities enables students to spend their free time productively and engage in sports activities.
During his tour of the educational facility, President of the country Emomali Rahmon highly appreciated the level and quality of the construction work and gave teachers instructions and recommendations on making effective use of the available opportunities and educating knowledgeable and talented young people.
It was emphasized that, with favourable conditions for education and upbringing being created in general education institutions throughout the country, priority should be given to the quality of education and the level of students’ knowledge.
According to the Head of State, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, today it is impossible to move forward without science, new technologies, information and communication technologies, and the development of a technical worldview.
