Research activity in Education was
a vital idea from the very beginning of Khazar University's and in
the process of the University's establishment and its further strategic
development. For this purpose, in 1992, Khazar University started
a partnership program with the University of California, Los-Angeles
in the field of University Management. Within the framework of this
partnership program Center for Education and Information studies was
established at Khazar University. Later on, another center related
with Education - Center for Academic Quality Assurance - was created
with the support of the European Commission.
Moreover, Khazar University faculty members were involved in teacher training programs in regions of Azerbaijan, including in refugee camps. Analogically, Center for Economic and Business Research and Education was established. This Center particularly dealt with conducting trainings in various fields of Economics and Business for secondary school teachers and entrepreneurs in Baku and regions of Azerbaijan. In 1998, Khazar University started activities for establishment of an elementary school. A small class of first grade was created and it was the beginning of Khazar experiment in elementary education. Step-by-step, elementary and secondary education classes emerged and "Dunya" (The World) school affiliated with Khazar University was established. In 2003, an undergraduate degree program in Elementary Education started to be offered. The importance of nourishing the younger generation of teachers has been prioritized by the University since its foundation. At present the School of Education consists of the Department of Elementary Education and the Institute of Education Policy, and several affiliated bodies - "Dunya" Lab School, Center for Library and Information Studies, Center for Economic and Business Research and Education, Center for Academic Quality Assurance, Distance Learning Center, etc.
