Two graduates of Baku State University (BSU) who completed the "Maarifçi" (Enlightener) student-to-graduate internship program have successfully secured positions within the Ministry of Science and Education and its affiliated institutions.

Out of ten individuals hired by the ministry and its subordinate bodies after completing the program—initiated by the ministry and supported by the Education Development Fund—two are BSU graduates.

Specifically:

•    Javid Bagirov, a graduate of BSU’s Geography Department, has joined the Department of Strategic Planning and Analysis at the ministry.
•    Nazrin Manafova, also a Geography Department graduate, has been hired by the Department of Quality Control of Additional Educational Services at the Institute of Education.

The second cohort of the " Maarifçi " program, which offers internship opportunities within the Ministry of Science and Education and its affiliated institutions, was successfully completed by 35 participants, including 12 BSU graduates.

Notably, in the first " Maarifçi" program held last year, three out of nine participants who secured jobs in the ministry's structures were also BSU graduates.
