KHATLON, August 28, 2013, Asia-Plus –  Alumni of pedagogical faculties in Khatlan Province are not in a hurry to take up their jobs in schools of the region.

Local authorities are trying to solve the problem by giving out land to build homes for teachers. For example, 2 thousand 740 teachers became owners of land in the past years, including 961 young pedagogues. Moreover, 124 young teachers were given a soft loan, and 30 teachers received land for subsistence farming.

Head of Province press office reported to Asia-Plus that the authorities are also trying to solve shortage of pre-school institutions in the Province. Five pre-school institutions have been opened in Khatlan in the past seven months. New facilities are for 700 children. One of the kindergartens for 300 children in Bakhtar District has been built by a local entrepreneur.

109 kindergartens and 350 child development centers are working in Khatlan today, which cover over 20 thousand children.

The source said: “Construction of pre-school institutions, public as well as private, will continue in the future.”
