Minister Misir Mardanov told APA that the plan on entrance state-owned higher schools was submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers for ratification 20 days ago.

The plan on vacancies in private higher schools was submitted a little bit later. Thus, students admission to some majors of the private higher schools has been banned.

According to the plan the number of vacancies in state-owned higher schools is the same as in last year. This number, however, has decreased in the private higher schools.
