Rebuilding schools, rebuilding Tajikistan
The Japanese embassy has only been open less than two years in the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, but it already realizes the importance of education in rebuilding this war-shattered country.

The Japanese have just given Tajikistan, the poorest of the 15 former Soviet republics, more than $37,000 to equip a secondary school, according to Russia's Itar-Tass news agency.

This is likely to be welcome news in a country where schools are in a desperate state. Class enrolment is also dropping while the dropout rate is rising
