Tóm tắt
Tajikistan lies wedged in a corner of post-Soviet Central Asia between China and Afghanistan. Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and a tragic civil war, this mountainous country has experienced fundamental shocks. As one of the poorest of the ex-Soviet states the educational system faces compound problems which are economic as well as institutional This chapter examines community education within Tajikistan, since the community college model is almost nonexistent. This chapter argues that the success of one particular curriculum development project, by the Aga Khan Humanities Project (AKHP), was the result of engaging with the community and embodying, consciously or not, many aspects of the community college.1 More specifically this project embodied a liberal arts curriculum that emphasized interdisiplinarity and pedagogy that encouraged students to understand how their skills can be applied outside of academia-educating students for the universal community © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
