The development of human capital using rich natural resources of Azerbaijan, which is the focus of global attention, has become a top priority. President Ilham Aliyev's attention to education proves that this important element is one of the key principles of the government policy. Thanks to the head of state's attention to the development of education, state-of-the-art schools have been built, new blocks for educational facilities constructed in both the capital and the country's regions in the past few years. Important work has been carried out to strengthen material and technical base of schools.

The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has strongly supported this government program. Hundreds of schools have been built in the country under the foundation`s “New school for a renewing Azerbaijan” and “Support for Education” projects.

Founder of the school Mehriban Mammadova informed the head of state of the work done.

The six-storey building covers a total area of 30,000 square metres. There is a statue of national leader Heydar Aliyev, who made a great contribution to the development of education in Azerbaijan, in the yard of the school.

President Ilham Aliyev cut the ribbon symbolizing the opening of the new building of Baku-Oxford School.

The head of state reviewed the building.

There is Heydar Aliyev Museum on the first floor of the school.

It was said that the school offers pre-school education program for children aged 4-5, primary school program for children aged 6-10, middle school program for children aged 11-13, and A-level program for children aged 14-18.

The students are served by 100 teachers, including from the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Colombia, Sweden, Romania, Malaysia, South Africa and Nigeria.

Baku-Oxford School opened its branch in Shamkir in 2010. It currently enrolls 220 students, including from Shamkir, Ganja, Gadabay, Tovuz, Gazakh and adjacent regions. Its campus was built in 2013.

It was noted that Baku-Oxford School was awarded International Centre status by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), one of the world's leading assessment providers.
