The tuition fees of children of deminers killed during demining operations will be covered by the state budget, APA reports.
This is reflected in the amendment to the Tax Code approved by President Ilham Aliyev.
According to the Code, the tuition fees of children of deminers who were killed as a result of an accident caused by the detonation of explosive ordnance during demining activities, or who died from injuries sustained in such incidents, will be paid from the state budget while they receive paid education (excluding additional education) at state, municipal, and private higher, secondary specialized, and vocational education institutions in Azerbaijan.
Under the transitional provisions, the specified privilege will also apply to the children of deminers who were killed or died from injuries sustained during demining activities before the law enters into force (up to a maximum age of 23), and it will be applied from September 15, 2026.
