Hamlet Isakhanli.
During the event, guests delivered congratulatory speeches. Prof. Acad. Hamlet Isakhanli, known for his close ties with the jubilee school, highlighted in his address the historical significance of the first schools established during the industrialization era: “Industrialization revealed a completely different need for education. For this reason, along with industrialization, science and education also developed. There was industrialization and light industry in Azerbaijan as well. But the foundation of heavy industry in Azerbaijan was laid by the Nobel brothers. That is why the Nobel brothers established a modern school tailored to the demands of the industrial age, which continues to excel as an educational institution today.
Expressing congratulations to the school’s staff, H. Isakhanli affirmed his commitment to ongoing collaboration with the educational institution.
A comprehensive report on the ceremony was featured in the “Azerbaijani Teacher” newspaper and website.
