"A teacher should know his subject.

If the teacher does not know his subject, then it is clear why children get low marks in the 9th grade."

APA informs that this was said by the Minister of Science and Education Emin Amrullayev at the public hearing held in the Science and Education Committee of the Milli Majlis on the topic "Certification of educators working in state general educational institutions".

The minister said that the salary of an Azerbaijani teacher is one of the most increased salaries in the last 5 years: "Until now, the salary of teachers has increased regardless of their knowledge and skills.

Several tools have been used to increase wages.

Teachers' salaries were also increased by carrying out a diagnostic assessment, which is unique to teachers.

In this case, the form was very simple.

That is, the teacher who participated in the diagnosis and even scored 5 points felt an increase in his salary.

As a result of diagnostics, we realized that most teachers know their subjects.

But there are some who work in schools today, but do not know their subjects.

The second direction is to check the professional suitability of these teachers.

If he is suitable for the profession, a 35% increase in his salary, and 10% if he is less suitable, was set.

Enthusiasm for certification has been overwhelming among teachers.

We have already involved more than 11 thousand teachers in certification.

It covers only a few regions."
