Cases are determined when tuition fees of persons with special needs for social protection will be paid from the state budget while they are studying on a paid basis.
According to Elchi.az, this was reflected in the amendment proposed to the Law “On Education”, which was discussed at today’s meeting of the Committee on Science and Education of the Milli Majlis.
According to the current Law “On Education”, tuition fees of persons with special needs for social protection must be paid from the state budget while they are studying on a paid basis in educational institutions.
According to the project, tuition fees of persons with special needs for social protection will be paid from the state budget only while they are studying on a paid basis in educational institutions of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
