Tajikistan Grade 10 Arts Curriculum

Information specific to the Tajikistan Grade 10 Arts curriculum is currently unavailable. However, general information regarding arts education in Tajikistan and its educational system can be provided.

General Education System in Tajikistan

Tajikistan's education system follows a structure of four years of primary school, followed by five years of lower secondary and two years of upper secondary school. Attendance is mandatory from age seven to seventeen. The academic year typically begins in September and ends in June. Secondary education is free and compulsory until grade nine. Students must complete an additional two years of upper secondary school (grades 10 and 11) for university entrance. As of February 2024, Tajikistan expanded compulsory education to upper secondary levels, requiring students who opt out of traditional academic studies in grades 10-11 to pursue vocational technical education.

Arts Education in Tajikistan

While specific details about the national curriculum for arts education are not readily available, some institutions, like the Aga Khan Lycée (AKL) in Khorog, offer insights. AKL follows the Tajik National State Curriculum and provides fine arts education to its students. Fine arts education at AKL encompasses more than just creating artwork; it aims to foster creativity and cultural understanding. Students participate in activities like painting and have opportunities to showcase their work in annual exhibitions.

Beyond formal schooling, there are initiatives promoting arts and culture in Tajikistan. The Gulzar Village, founded by Nigina Ikromi, supports Tajik artisans and cultural preservation. The recent opening of a new art college building and two schools in Dushanbe by President Emomali Rahmon in August 2024 further highlights the government's support for arts education.
