State employees in Uzbekistan forced to learn English
Employees of several state organizations in Tashkent complain that their leadership is forcing them to learn English at their own expense.
Nilufar (name changed for source’s safety), who works at the Children’s Dental Clinic #2 in Tashkent, told to “Jarayon” the following:
– During a recent meeting, the chief doctor of the clinic said to all employees that we must learn English language for dentists. However, the most outrageous thing in this order is that doctors must learn the language at their own expense, as the management of the clinic is not going to provide the employees any financial assistance for learning English. Our doctors give “shares” to the chief doctor from their salary every month… Moreover, prices are rising, today it is very hard to support the family. And now we will have to spend money from our own pocket to learn English language, – says the doctor.
