Azerbaiiani education minister: Educational institution security must be revised

Azerbaijani Education Minister Misir Mardanov said this week that the security of educational institutions must be reviewed.

"The management of educational institutions must consider security issues from a contemporary point of view and strengthen security," Mardanov said at a meeting today.

Masked men attacked Secondary School No. 12 in Baku's Nizami district on March 31. They stole a fax machine, projector and laptop, and beat security guard Famil Tagiyev, Baku Educational Office spokesperson Zamina Aligizi said.

Fortunately, the criminals were not able to break into a computer room on the first floor, she added.

Tagiyev was able to untie his hands and call principal Ali Aliyev after the criminals left. A mask and a lighter were found at the scene of the crime.

Police are investigating the attack.

He said the ministry received a letter from Deputy General Prosecutor Rustam Usubov. The official advised to strengthen the security of the educational institutions.
