According to Jabbarov, the delivery of personnel training is very important.
The minister noted that Azerbaijan intends to continue its reforms in the education field in terms of cooperation with international universities.
According to Jabbarov, the number of students studying abroad in the framework of the State Programme on Study Abroad for 2007-2015 is about 1200.
Jabbarov also noted that after Azerbaijan gained its independence in 1990, about 100 students were sent to study in Turkey by national leader Heydar Aliyev.
"The other day I was in Nakhchivan. Despite the 25-year blockade of the region, Nakhchivan University continues its activities in accordance with international standards. There are around 200 students there from different countries of the world. The university has about 75 international treaties. The university also participated in five international projects," Jabbarov added.
