UK-Azerbaijan educational ties are extraordinary and still growing, built on three decades of collaboration since the British Council began operations here in 1993, said His Excellency Mr. Fergus Auld, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Azerbaijan, in his interview with APA.
"Today, UK-educated Azerbaijani professionals hold senior positions across both public and private sectors, demonstrating the lasting value of this investment in human capital. Through programmes like Chevening and the John Smith Trust, we continue expanding opportunities for Azerbaijani students. Even more important in terms of scale is Azerbaijan's State Scholarship Programme. Over half of Azerbaijani students choose to study in UK universities every year. This shows that talented young Azerbaijanis know a British education will help them develop themselves and build their career opportunities – and that they recognise that they will be warmly welcomed across the UK," he said.
