Zangilan:President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva participated in the inauguration of the Zangilan City Education Complex on November 6. The event marked the official opening of a facility that has been designed to cater to 960 students and focus on vocational-oriented education.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the education complex was initially planned as a secondary school following an order by President Aliyev in 2022. However, in 2025, the project was re-conceptualized into the current complex, featuring a variety of educational facilities including pre-school preparation rooms, specialized classrooms for biology and computer science, and pre-conscription military training rooms.

The complex is equipped with advanced facilities such as "STEAM-STARTERS," "STEAM-SCIENCE LAB," and "STEAM CHALLENGE" rooms, alongside robotics zones and laboratories. It also offers workshops for skills like tailoring, plumbing, and electrical assembly, as well as a library, sports and assembly halls, and a canteen.

Landscaping efforts have been extensive across the 1.6-hectare site, which includes an outdoor sports field and a running track. This development is part of a broader education policy led by President Aliyev, aimed at constructing new school buildings and renovating existing ones, particularly in the liberated territories as part of the Great Return Program.

The inauguration of the Zangilan City Education Complex underscores the priority given to education infrastructure in these areas, providing modern facilities to support the educational and vocational development of children returning to their homeland.
