The chapter analyses reforms in education in Turkmenistan during the second president of Turkmenistan. It critically approaches the reforms that has been accomplished by the regime of Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.
It shows that growing education gap between Turkmenistan and the world is reflected by the population that attempts to send their children to be educated outside Turkmenistan (with the regime trying to create as much obstacle in this process as possible). At the same time the pupils and students inside Turkmenistan are under the growing pressure of more ideologized education and increasingly low quality.
