The final stage of the "Battle of Minds" Olympiad was held at the Heydar Aliyev Center with the participation of 9th to 11th grade students from general education institutions.
The final stage of the Olympiad, a joint project of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Education, was dedicated to the 102nd anniversary of National Leader Heydar Aliyev’s birth. This stage was held in a team competition format and consisted of a knowledge contest and a chess tournament.
The event began with a tour of the Heydar Aliyev Center.
Speaking at the official opening of the final stage, Heydar Aliyev Foundation representative Jamil Aliyev noted that education is one of the key priority areas in the foundation’s activities. The foundation places special emphasis on the construction of new school buildings and the thorough renovation of existing schools throughout the country — even in its most remote villages — with the goal of ensuring students receive a quality education.
The event aims to foster not only academic knowledge but also friendship and social skills among students.
Deputy Director of the Institute of Education Fuad Garayev pointed out that the Ministry of Science and Education implements numerous projects to identify and develop talented students, and that this Olympiad is one such initiative. He stated that the main goal of organizing the Olympiad is to develop strategic thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills in the younger generation.
Garayev emphasized that the students participating in the final represent various regions and that this is a competition based on both knowledge and intellect.
He added that the event also serves to promote national and moral values and strengthen the idea of Azerbaijani identity.
The speeches followed with the start of the competitions.
