In Tajikistan, the recognition of foreign diplomas, known as "nostrification," is outlined in Part No. 21 of Article No. 23 of the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan on Education and overseen by the Agency for Control of Education and Science. However, in practice, refugees in Tajikistan encounter multiple challenges in having their foreign qualifications recognized, including bureaucratic obstacles, differences in educational systems, and security concerns. For example, Afghan refugees often struggle with disparities between the Afghan and Tajik education systems, which can hinder their employment opportunities in professional fields.

Although Tajikistan is a signatory to international agreements promoting the recognition of refugees' qualifications, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, the practical implementation of these provisions remains limited. As a result, refugees may find it difficult to have their foreign diplomas recognized, restricting their ability to work in liberal professions or other specialized fields.

In conclusion, while mechanisms exist for recognizing foreign diplomas in Tajikistan, refugees often face significant barriers in navigating these processes. The current legal and policy framework does not always fully support the recognition of qualifications obtained abroad, limiting refugees' access to professional employment opportunities.
