In January-February, 570 proposals for changes to the draft Law on Higher Education were received.

APA reports that Bakhtiyar Aliyev, chairman of the Science and Education Committee of the Milli Majlis, said at a public hearing on the draft law "On Higher Education".

He said that 301 of these proposals were taken into account:

"The main directions of our education should be in accordance with the economic development of our country. The transformation of our country's higher education institutions into modern educational centers should be accelerated, and the training of professional personnel should be ensured."

The chairman of the committee noted that there were many serious problems related to doctoral studies in previous discussions:

"Therefore, a place for doctoral education should be radically allocated in the draft law."
