BACKGROUND

The Trade Union of Education and Science Workers of Tajikistan (TUESWT) is an active partner in the elimination of child labour in Tajikistan and the largest trade union organization in Tajikistan. Since 2009, TUESWT has been an active partner in the elimination of child labour in Tajikistan, participating in various trainings and workshops and implementing a number of programs to address child labour.

In 2013, TUESWT initiated the process of developing a curriculum (four sessions) on “The role of education workers in the elimination of child labour”, drawn up by the National Institute for the Professional Development of Teachers (NIPDT), and an extra-curricular item (five sessions) on “Child labour and its consequences” in both Tajik and Russian for children in grades 5-11, drawn up by the National Training and Methodology Centre (NTMC).

The teaching resources were approved by the Ministry of Education and Science (MES) under Regulation #18/64 (30.10.2014). The resources were subsequently integrated into the NIPDT’s training sessions and into the extra-curricular programme of the education system of Tajikistan for grades 5-9.
