After raising the volume of teaching for 30 thousand teachers, their salary was increased 2-fold, reaching 425 manats a month, Education Minister Mikayil Jabbarov said at a Cabinet meeting on October 12.
By the end of the year the diagnosis evaluation of 30 thousand more teachers, whose salaries will be increased from January 1 next year, will be held in 3 cities and 9 districts of the country. "This will increase the salary of 40% of the teachers in the country," the minister said.
According to the program of training the country's youth abroad in 2007-2015, this year 373 people have been sent abroad and the total number of participants in the program for 8 years is 3,558 people.
The number of people that have completed training abroad has exceeded 1,000, of whom 60% work in the private sector, and 40% in the state sector, he said, without specifying how many of them returned to Azerbaijan.
Referring to the problems, Jabbarov said that due to the lack of gas meters and gas lines for 128 schools their heating system does not operate. Because of this, the children suffer, in the countryside most of all. For this reason, the winter sessions are actually terminated.
Jabbarov also noted the serious work on anti-corruption cases. So, this year they have found 7 criminal facts which were transferred to the prosecutor's office. Eighteen people were dismissed after verification of citizens' complaints, said the minister. -03D-
