DUSHANBE, July 31, 2009, Asia-Plus  -- Tajik Institute of Innovation Technologies and Communications has reportedly resumed admission of entrants.

Shokirjon Hakimov, the head of the Chair of Law and International Relations, told Asia-Plus on Friday that the Dushanbe Economic Court on July 30 annulled an order by Education Minister suspending admission of entrants to the institute for 2009-2010 academic year.  “The court handed down such a ruling following an application by the Institute of Innovation Technologies and Communications,” Hakimov said.

As it had been reported earlier, the Ministry of Education (MoE) on July 23 announced a temporary suspension of admission of entrants to Tajik Institute of Innovation Technologies and Communications for 2009-2010 academic year.  In this connection, the ministry asked all applicants that had submitted their documents to this university to take them and submit to other universities until July 31.  “Such a decision has been taken because activity of this university does not meet requirements of the country’s education code,” Noilsho Nouraliyev, a spokesman for a MoE.  However, he added that the university did not stop its activity and “students that have already studied at the university will continue their studies.”

Founded in 2003 as International University of Tajikistan, it was renamed University of Humanities in 2006 and eventually Tajik Institute of Innovation Technologies and Communications in 2007.  The university has seven faculties: Information Systems and Technologies; World Economy; Management; International Relations; Foreign Languages; International Law; and Computer Science.
