More emphasis on reading skills in graduation and block exams has recently started to be implemented.
“Elchi” reports that Minister of Science and Education Emin Amrullayev stated this during the presentation of the results of the PISA 2025 International Student Assessment Program.
The minister noted that we are seeing improved results precisely after this process: “We are working on language rules in our textbooks. We consider our education system to be exam-content oriented rather than exam-oriented.
In none of our pedagogical institutions is reading taught as a separate subject. We do not accept it as a separate field. Reading poems by Azerbaijani poets is not reading literacy; it is a separate direction.
When we introduce any innovation into a textbook, society sometimes perceives it as an insult to itself. Because current children have not been familiar with a reading textbook.
He concluded by noting that we do not have a problem with the Azerbaijani language. Language skills and reading literacy are different fields, and they should not be confused.
