"Memorial" opens business school in North Ossetia

On December 18, the Centre for Promoting Small Businesses was launched in Kurtat village of the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia with support of the Human Rights Centre "Memorial".

Dzhigu Satsaeva, a teacher of the Centre, said that the project is three years long, and the training at the Centre will be free of charge. "However, only residents of the Prigorodny District will be admitted. The pupils will be train to how correctly create one's business; they will be lectured on economy, marketing and computing fundamentals," Ms Satsaeva said.

According to official data, as of January 1, 2008, North Ossetia had 2038 small enterprises and 17,226 individual entrepreneurs. The share of citizens employed in the sphere of small businesses makes 18.5 percent of the total Republic's labour force, that is, almost every fifth worker.

The Prigorodny District of North Ossetia is the area of former Ossetian-Ingush conflict, inhabited jointly by both nationals; therefore, it was decided to open a business school there.
