Sample Teacher Attestation (Tajikistan) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Teacher Attestation (Tajikistan) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Article 14 of the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan 'On the Status of the Teacher' (No. 2215 of 17 December 2025), for what purpose is a teacher's attestation conducted?
A.To decide whether the teacher's school keeps its state accreditation
B.To rank teachers in a district for priority in housing and land allocation
C.To determine the teacher's qualification level and improve professional skill
D.To confirm eligibility for the refresher courses required every five years
Explanation: Article 14 states that a teacher's attestation is conducted to determine the qualification level (дараҷаи тахассус) and to improve the teacher's professional skill, in accordance with legislation. This matches Article 48(2) of the Law 'On Education', under which attestation results determine a teacher's professional qualification level, and the aims listed in the Procedure approved by Government Resolution No. 281.
2Under the Procedure approved by Government Resolution No. 281 of 7 June 2017, how often does regular attestation of education-sector staff take place?
A.Once every five years
B.Once every three years
C.Once every four years
D.Once every academic year
Explanation: Paragraph 5 of the Procedure states that attestation of education-sector employees is held once every five years (дар панҷ сол як маротиба). The President or the Government may order an attestation before that term, and it is then also held under the same Procedure. Article 33 of the Law 'On Education' likewise ties the organisation of teacher attestation to a five-year cycle.
3A teacher attested in the 2023–2024 school year wants to seek a higher category before the next regular attestation. What does paragraph 6 of the Procedure (Resolution No. 281) require?
A.Three years since the last attestation and an application sent straight to the Ministry commission
B.A first-place olympiad result by a pupil, which triggers early attestation automatically
C.A pedagogical council petition alone, with no personal application from the teacher
D.Two years since the last attestation, an application, the head's submission and department permission
Explanation: Paragraph 6 lets heads, teachers and other specialists be attested early once two years have passed since their last attestation. Early attestation is based on the employee's application, a submission from the head of the institution and permission from the city or district education department (or the GBAO, regional or Dushanbe directorate); for districts of republican subordination and Ministry institutions, the Ministry of Education and Science gives permission.
4Under Article 32 of the Law 'On Education' (No. 1004 of 22 July 2013), which body approves the state educational standards?
A.The Ministry of Education and Science, by ministerial order
B.The Government of the Republic of Tajikistan
C.The Majlisi Oli, by adopting a separate law
D.The Academy of Education of Tajikistan
Explanation: Article 32 lists approval of state educational standards among the competences of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan; for example, the State Standard of General Education was approved by Government Resolution No. 494 of 1 August 2015. The same article gives the Government the power to set the procedure for attesting pedagogical and scientific staff, which it exercised in Resolution No. 281.
5A teacher at a general-education school in a district of Sughd region is recommended for the Higher category (дараҷаи олӣ). Under Resolution No. 281, which attestation commission approves that category?
A.The school's own attestation commission, by order of the director
B.The attestation commission of the regional education directorate
C.The district education department's commission, by its own order
D.The Ministry's commission, acting as the commission of first instance
Explanation: Under paragraphs 12–14, the school commission conducts the regular attestation and itself approves only the Second category. The city or district commission approves the First category and forwards Higher-category files to the commission of the education directorate of GBAO, the region or Dushanbe, which assigns the Higher category. For districts of republican subordination, Higher-category files go to the Ministry of Education and Science commission instead.
6What does Article 41 of the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan provide about schooling?
A.General secondary (11-year) education is compulsory and free in every type of school
B.Higher professional education is free for every citizen without competitive selection
C.Education is compulsory up to age 18, whether in state or private institutions
D.General basic education is compulsory and free in state educational institutions
Explanation: Article 41 states that everyone has the right to education, that general basic education is compulsory, and that the state guarantees free compulsory general basic education in state educational institutions. Within limits set by law, free general secondary, vocational and higher professional education can also be obtained in state institutions.
7The Law 'On Responsibility for the Education and Upbringing of the Child' (No. 2049 of 20 June 2024) replaced the 2011 parental-responsibility law. What does its Article 15 require of parents regarding the child's appearance at school?
A.Ensure the institution's required clothing at every level and prevent tattoos without medical need
B.Buy the uniform only through the school, which must sell it to every family at a fixed state price
C.Apply the clothing rule in primary grades only, leaving older pupils free to choose
D.Obtain the class teacher's written approval before the child changes hairstyle or clothing
Explanation: Article 15(5) obliges parents to ensure and monitor that the child wears the clothing appropriate to the educational institution at all levels of education, to attend to the child's appearance and hygiene, and to take measures against artificial changes of appearance, including tattooing, without medical need. The 2024 law repealed the 2011 law on parental responsibility (No. 762), which earlier materials often still cite.
8An attestation commission finds a teacher not suited to the post and recommends refresher and retraining courses. Under paragraphs 39 and 45 of the Procedure, what happens next?
A.The teacher keeps the current category and is re-attested at the next five-year cycle
B.The teacher is dismissed at once, and the course recommendation is only advisory
C.The teacher is re-attested after six months, and failing again means release from the post
D.The teacher is re-attested within one year, by the Ministry's appeal commission only
Explanation: Paragraph 39 lets the commission recommend either refresher and retraining courses followed by repeat attestation, or transfer to a lower post (with release from the post if no such vacancy exists or the employee refuses). Under paragraph 45, an employee sent for courses is re-attested after six months; if the required points are still not obtained, the employee is found unsuitable and released by order of the head of the institution.
9Which of these is listed as a teacher's right in Article 5 of the Law 'On the Status of the Teacher' (2025)?
A.To set grading criteria that differ from the established assessment norms
B.To choose forms and methods of teaching in line with state educational standards
C.To replace the approved curriculum with a programme the teacher has designed personally
D.To decline attestation while holding a qualification category
Explanation: Article 5(3) gives the teacher the right to choose forms and methods of teaching in accordance with state educational standards. The same article lists rights such as taking part in drafting curricula and textbooks, independently and objectively assessing learners, and refusing entry to the lesson to persons unrelated to teaching. Article 50 of the Law 'On Education' similarly protects the right to choose and apply effective forms and methods of teaching.
10Under Article 20 of the Law 'On Responsibility for the Education and Upbringing of the Child' (2024), what is the teacher's duty regarding mobile phones?
A.Collect all learners' phones each morning and return them to parents at the end of the week
B.Report every learner who brings a phone to school to the internal affairs bodies
C.Permit phone use in lessons whenever a learner says it is needed for reference
D.Teach a culture of mobile-phone use and take measures so phones are not used during lessons
Explanation: Article 20(6) requires the teacher to teach learners a culture of mobile-phone use and to take measures so that phones are not used during lessons; Article 16(18) places the same duty on parents. Separately, Article 51 of the Law 'On Education' forbids teachers themselves from using mobile phones during lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the legal basis for teacher attestation in Tajikistan?

Attestation follows the Procedure for the Attestation of Pedagogical and Scientific Staff of Educational Institutions, approved by Government Resolution No. 281 of 7 June 2017 under Article 32 of the Law 'On Education' (No. 1004 of 22 July 2013). Article 48 of that law and Article 14 of the Law 'On the Status of the Teacher' (No. 2215 of 17 December 2025) confirm that teachers are periodically attested to determine their qualification level.

How often are teachers attested?

Once every five years (paragraph 5). Young specialists are first attested three years after being hired, teachers returning from maternity or childcare leave one year after returning, and anyone may request early attestation two years after their last one with the head's submission and the education department's permission.

How is the attestation conducted and scored?

The methodological association head submits a characteristic (тавсифнома) at least 10 days ahead, and the commission holds a question-and-answer interview on its points. Each member marks the teacher 5, 4, 3 or 2 in an evaluation table; the average score gives the Higher (23–25), First (20–22) or Second (15–19) category, while 10–14 means not passed. The conclusion is adopted by open majority vote in the teacher's absence.

Which commission approves each category?

The institution's commission approves the Second category, the city or district commission approves the First, and the commission of the GBAO, regional or Dushanbe education directorate assigns the Higher category (the Ministry commission does so for districts of republican subordination). The Ministry of Education and Science commission also acts as the appeal commission for all institutions.

What happens if a teacher is found not suited to the post?

The commission recommends refresher and retraining courses with repeat attestation after six months, or transfer to a lower post. Failing the repeat attestation leads to release from the post. A teacher may complain within one month to the head, higher or authorised bodies, or a court, but the complaint does not suspend the decision.

In which language is attestation conducted, and is this bank official?

Official records of education bodies and institutions are kept in Tajik, the state language; we found no official source confirming a separate Russian-language attestation route. This OpenExamPrep bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation — not an official translation, not a simulation of the commission interview, and not affiliated with or approved by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Is there a fee for teacher attestation?

The Procedure approved by Resolution No. 281 sets no candidate fee. Attestation is organised by education bodies and held during working hours on the scheduled day.
