From June 14-26th, the English-Speaking Nation: Secondary Teacher Training Program (ESN:STT) launched the in-person TESOL Core Certificate Program (TCCP) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for 93 Core Trainers.

The Deputy Chief of Mission, Mr. Alan Meltzer, and the Minister of Public Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Mr. Sherzod Shermatov, took part in the opening ceremony of June TCCP. Initially planned as a full in-person course, the first 60-hour Foundation Course was hosted virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions and public health regulations. The in-person June TCCP course is the second 60 hours of the training course.

On June 26th the TCCP in Tashkent was officially over and, currently, four TESOL instructors, in partnership with the ESN U.S. Coaches, are delivering seven TCCP courses in different regions of Uzbekistan throughout July and August to over 230 teachers.
