I personally find the results of this report particularly interesting. Azerbaijan has problems in education field. However the country is the homeowner for more than ten private schools opened by Turkish entrepreneurs. The graduates demonstrate brilliant results in world science Olympiads bringing every year the number of gold medals to country. They represent the bright future of Azerbaijan education system.
