Only 7% of children attend preschool (2007). The education system provides the opportunity for eleven years of schooling. Most of the students are taught in Tajik, but there are also classes where teaching is in the minority languages ​​Kyrgyz, Russian, Turkmen and Uzbek. Russian-speaking children must also learn Tajik, official language since 1989, from the first year. Great emphasis is placed on Tajik culture and classical Persian literature. Teaching in Russian again became compulsory in 2003. In practice, the quality of education has been depleted since independence, first because of the civil war, later because of insufficient resources, lack of textbooks, teacher shortages and outdated institutions. In some regions, children are absent from school due to the security situation and parental poverty. Many children work instead of going to school. The level of education is said to have declined, especially for girls. The entire education system is also struggling with widespread corruption. Officially, only 0.4% of the adult population is illiterate.
