The education law that has been in force had been adopted in 1992. The Milli Majlis began drafting the new law in 1995, but it has not passed the legislature since then.
Education in Azerbaijan is to begin from the age of three and become mandatory at age five. Education is divided into categories including general, primary, general secondary and full secondary. Mandatory education will take nine years.
