Language is one of the main building blocks that is at the center of human
life. Because language has a crucial role in transmitting the knowledge to next
the generations, in the socialization of an individual and in creating a community
consciousness. Therefore, each society aspires to protect and develop their
language -especially in education-, and they make various state policies.
Following the independence, education in Azerbaijani increased gradually
in the Republic of Azerbaijan. With the education becoming more widespread,
the rate of literacy increased as well. Although the rate of literacy and education
in Azerbaijani increased during the independence period, the effect of Russian
was still observed both in spoken language and in education language. Along
with Russian, English has been observed recently in the education field as well.
Despite having Russian and English as the education language, the rate of use
for Azerbaijani in education has not decreased. Because as a requirement of the
state policy, even when the ethnical groups get education in their own language,
they still have to get their education in Azerbaijani. It demonstrates that education
in Azerbaijani is cared and protected in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
