“When the Law on Education was being adopted, the Education Ministry
made efforts for the implementation of 12-year education system.
Unfortunately, it did not happen then.
But a little later after the adoption of the law, everybody sees that
90% of the world countries implement 12-year education system. That’s
why, may be, the amendment will be made to our legislation and decision
will be passed on switching to 12-year education system”, said Minister
of Education Misir Mardanov. Minister said that if Azerbaijan switches
to 12-year education, 10-year education will be obligatory: “The pupils
will attend the training program of other two years while preparing for
the university admission examinations. Consequently, the tutorship,
which is a very serious problem in Azerbaijani society today, will be
limited. ”
