BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 23. Azerbaijan and
Türkiye will expand cooperation in the field of vocational
education, Trend
reports.


This issue was discussed at the plenary session of the
Azerbaijani parliament today.


The discussions noted that within the existing legal framework
for cooperation in the field of education between the governments
of Azerbaijan and Türkiye, the "Model charter of
Turkish-Azerbaijani vocational education institutions" has been
prepared as an appendix to the additional protocol to the "Protocol
on cooperation in the field of vocational education" signed in
Ankara on February 19, 2021.


The protocol has established the legal basis for expanding
cooperation in the field of vocational education between Azerbaijan
and Türkiye, establishing joint vocational education institutions
and organizing their activities.


The current model charter, being a subsidiary legal document
adopted for the purpose of implementing that protocol, defines a
single model legal framework for organizing the activities of
vocational education institutions to be established within the
framework of the protocol.


The model charter regulates the legal status, areas of activity,
management mechanisms, principles of organizing the educational
process, and the basis of cooperation of Turkish-Azerbaijani
vocational education institutions in general.







This document is intended as a basis for the preparation,
coordination, and state registration of separate charters for each
specific vocational education institution.


The charters of the relevant vocational education institutions
are prepared on the basis of agreement of the parties and are
applied after approval by the Azerbaijani side in accordance with
the regulations in force.


Thus, the presented model charter does not create a new legal
obligation, acts as an implementation document ensuring the
practical implementation of the existing international agreement -
the protocol dated 2021, and serves to organize the activities of
Turkish-Azerbaijani vocational education institutions on a
systematic and unified basis.


The draft law on the approval of the "Additional protocol to the
protocol dated February 19, 2021, between the governments of
Azerbaijan and Türkiye on cooperation in the field of vocational
education" was put to a vote and adopted in the first reading.
