Tianjin, May 12 /Xinhua/ — At the training center for intellectual geodetic measurements of the Tianjin Professional-Technical College of Urban Construction Management /city of Tianjin, Northern China/, 21-year-old student Lu Banya from the Workshop in Tajikistan, Jonibek Ismoilov, leaning over, was adjusting equipment parameters, while his classmates assembled lines, monitored the data, and recorded measurement results.
In September 2024, Chonibek and seven of his compatriots became the first students of the Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan, who went to Tianjin as part of an educational program. Recall that the Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan is the first such workshop in Central Asia. Having completed a two-year educational course in their home country, they enrolled in Tianjin under the “2+2” program to continue their education and master the technologies of installation and adjustment of equipment such as engineering geodetic instruments, new electric power systems, and wind-solar hybrid installations.
Lu Ban is an outstanding craftsman and inventor who lived in China 2500 years ago. He embodies the wisdom and ingenuity of the Chinese people, symbolizing high technical mastery, an unwavering pursuit of perfection, and creative inspiration.
Lu Bath Workshop is an international brand of professional education, developed and first implemented in the city of Tianjin. Combining formal education with professional training, it not only creates training and practical centers and provides modern equipment, but also organizes training for local teachers by Chinese specialists, as well as invites them for internships in China, thereby contributing to the training of local technical personnel.
In March 2022, the Tianjin Professional College of Urban Construction Management and the Tajik Technical University named after Academician M. Osimi began jointly creating the Master Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan, which officially started operations in November of the same year.
“The Lu Bath Workshop gave us the opportunity to go to China for training. Here, attention is paid not only to theory but also to practice. We can work with the equipment ourselves, participate in practical classes. This helped me truly understand how to apply professional knowledge to real engineering tasks,” said Chonibek.
Under the guidance of Chinese teachers, Chonibek systematically studies practical courses in geodesy and cartography. Precise work with instruments, correct line installation, real-time data monitoring—all these skills he gradually hones in practice.
A young man who previously did not know a single word of Chinese now freely reads professional literature in Chinese, completes practical tasks within the curriculum, and has successfully passed the exam at the fourth level of HSK Chinese proficiency. He plans to continue his studies in a master’s program in the city of Tianjin in order to master advanced technologies in the field of geodesy.
Another student of the Tajik Technical University of Bostier Bozorzoda also appreciated the advantages of the Master’s Workshop of Lu Banya’s educational system. Having entered the university, he was initially lost, not understanding what to do with the specialty “Geodesy and Cartography.” However, after the opening of Lu Banya’s Workshop in Dushanbe, where he became familiar with modern measuring equipment, digital technologies, and virtual simulation courses, his interest in geodesy gradually awakened, and he saw new perspectives for this profession.
During the training process at the local Lu Banya Bathhouse Workshop, he gradually mastered high-precision geodetic instruments and digital technologies, which allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of engineering geodesy. He also went on an internship and participated in a professional competition in Tianjin, where he systematically studied advanced Chinese equipment and modern measurement methods. Now he is even more confident in choosing the direction of his further development.
“In the future, I plan to continue studying in China to master more modern geodetic technologies and contribute to the construction of Tajikistan’s infrastructure,” Bastiyeer shared his plans.
As of today, the Lu Banya Workshop in Tajikistan has been operating for almost four years. During this time, more than 2900 undergraduate and graduate students have completed training and practice there. The educational programs cover 13 specialties across 9 departments of the Tajik Technical University, including the faculties of civil engineering and architecture.
Taking into account the needs of the local economic development, the Tianjin Professional-Technical College of Urban Construction Management has signed cooperation agreements with more than 10 Chinese enterprises operating in Tajikistan. Within the framework of these agreements, targeted personnel training is conducted for enterprises, and short-term and medium-term advanced training courses are organized for its employees.
Li Qinbin, secretary of the Party Committee of Tianjin Vocational College of Urban Construction Management, noted that the Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan has filled a gap in cooperation in the field of vocational education between China and Tajikistan, provided indispensable personnel support for local socio-economic development, and also became a bridge for heartfelt communication and mutual enrichment of civilizations between the two countries, helping an increasing number of young people become “masters of the Silk Road.” -0-
