Exchange of experience with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In order to continue the analyses conducted by the Fund to make educational student loans more accessible and expand their scope, and to explore the possibilities of applying international experience, the delegation of the TTKF visited the Republic of Kazakhstan in cooperation with relevant state bodies of foreign countries.
Within the framework of the visit, meetings were held at Turan-Astana University, Astana International University, Kazakhstan “Financial Center” and “Bolaşak” International Programs Center OJSC.
During the meeting, the counterpart was provided with detailed information about the activities of the TTKF, which is a clear example of the state care shown to education in our country, types of educational student loans, application rules, benefits, etc. Tahir Khalafov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Fund, stated that the Educational Student Loan Fund, which operates under the Ministry of Science and Education, is a unique opportunity for students, that the number of people benefiting from the Fund is increasing every year, and that students with high academic performance benefit from benefits.
The meeting participants were informed that student loans are transferred directly to the accounts of the institutions where students study, and students who have resolved an important issue such as tuition fees have the opportunity to focus on personal development and increasing their knowledge. It was noted that one of the most striking examples of the attention and care shown by the head of state to education is the Student Loan Fund for Education. The main goal of the Student Loan Fund for Education, established by Decree No. 1367 of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated June 17, 2021, is to ensure access to education for people from low-income groups of the population, create equal opportunities in receiving education, and expand the scope of education.
