Azerbaijan gearing up to open its first overseas school in Türkiye's Istanbul

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 22.​ Azerbaijan
will open a school in Istanbul, marking the country’s first effort
to establish an Azerbaijani-language institution abroad, said Emin
Amrullayev, Minister of Science and Education of Azerbaijan,

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the new building of the Baku
Turkish Anatolian High School, Amrullayev stated that the project
is aimed both at serving the children of Azerbaijani citizens
living in Türkiye and at strengthening bilateral ties between the
two countries.

“This will be something new for us. For the first time, we are
implementing a model of an Azerbaijani school that will operate
outside of Azerbaijan. Additionally, this school will create
significant opportunities for Azerbaijani citizens who live and
work in Istanbul. From this perspective, the project will further
strengthen the ties between the education systems of Azerbaijan and
Türkiye,” he added.

To note, Türkiye boasts an extensive network of over 70
international educational institutions, predominantly situated in
the metropolitan hub of Istanbul. These educational institutions
serve the needs of expatriate and Turkish households, implementing
diverse foreign curricula, including American, British, and German
frameworks, with a significant number additionally providing the
International Baccalaureate (IB) program.
