The Republican Committee of the Trade Union of Science and Education Workers (ETIHI RK), a member organization of the Azerbaijan Trade Union Confederation (ATUC), presented “Trade Union Scholarships” to 7 students of the Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU).

The event began with the playing of the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and a minute of silence was observed in memory of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev and the martyrs who gave their lives for the Motherland.

In his speech, Deputy Chairman of the Confederation Musa Mirzayev said that the youth policy of our state, founded by the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev, has created ample opportunities for young people to be formed in the spirit of national and spiritual values, receive quality education and become active members of society.

It was noted that under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, consistent and purposeful measures are being implemented to realize the potential of young people, form them as highly qualified personnel and increase their role in socio-political life. It was also emphasized that First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva's contributions to the development of the younger generation, and projects implemented by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation have expanded the opportunities of young people in education, culture, sports and other areas.

The speech provided information on the systematic measures implemented by the AHIK to strengthen the social protection of young people, protect labor rights and develop their potential. It was noted that the "Trade Union Scholarship" program, intended for young people with high academic performance and actively participating in the student trade union movement, is one of the successful initiatives in this direction. The program forms a healthy competitive environment among students and encourages them to achieve higher results.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Science and Education Kenan Karimzadeh spoke about the reforms implemented in the field of education and noted that the modern education system serves the development of the knowledge and skills of young people, as well as their creative abilities. He drew attention to the fact that the "Trade Union Scholarship" program will play an important role in increasing the motivation of students.

Finally, based on the results of the summer exam session of the 2024-2025 academic year, seven AzTU students who showed high academic performance and actively participated in the student trade union movement were awarded the "Trade Union Scholarship".
