"UNESCO will hopefully open psychological centers in Chechnya next year," he said.
The centers, although considered a separate project, will be implemented and financed within the UNESCO framework, he said.
According to Badarch, UNESCO is helping restore the education system in Chechnya.
"UNESCO is currently involved in an education project in Chechnya. It implies professional training of school headmasters and teachers who have had no opportunity to improve their skills for ten years," Badarch said. "We will hold a series of seminars involving some 400 school headmasters and teachers."
He said 179 people had taken part in similar seminars last year.
Chechen teachers are interested in this program and are eager to get additional training, Badarch said.
UNESCO helped prepare three textbooks for Chechen schools, including books on national aspects, the Chechen language and culture and history, he said.
UNESCO allocated $1 million for the project, half of which has already been used.
