Interview of Aydin Ahmadov, Head of Preschool and Common Education Department of The Ministry of Education to Lent.az information agency. Patriotism education is very important for formation of love to Homeland and feeling of love, citizen responsiility, readiness for defence of Homeland and nation. In this regard, correct organization of training-education work in educational establishments, has vital importance. We talked with Aydin Ahmadov, Head of Preschool and Common Education Department of The Ministry of Education regarding with envisaged issues and the actions that are performed in relevant sphere. Mr. Aydin, how do you think can we consider organization condition of patriotism education of the students in current war condition of our country satisfactory? -Purposeful and systematic actions are implemented on the direction of provision of patriotism education of young generation as one of most important directions of state youth policy in our country. Mass actions, enlightenment and agitation work implemented on this sphere, are aimed to ensure moral, physical psychological training of youth, also increase their love feeling to Homeland. Correct organization of youth’ patriotism education in the period of occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijan Republic’ territory by Armenia, has great actuality. As well as, importance of protection of national- moral values in globalizing world, is always explained to the pupils. The Ministry of Education implements wide actions for development of teaching of “Pre-conscription training of youth”, explanation of military-patriotism feelings, increase of popularity of military-sport games in the secondary schools.  Also, there is comprehensive support in organization of pre-conscription readiness of youth under level of modern requirements, also performance of the meetings, conferences, “Round tables”, cultural-mass and other actions under actual issues of youth’ patriotism eduation. Subject of “Pre-conscription training” which is taught in X-XI classes of the secondary schools implies explanation of the details on Military Forces of Azerbaijan, military statue rules to the pupils, acquitance with military life, physical and psyhcilogical readiness to military service, creation of belief on military service as duty and honourable work in pupils’ minds, development of moral qualities as patriotism, faithfulness, endurance, boldness, discipline and personal responsibility, formation of civil defence and first medical aid capabilities.  It should be noted that, sometimes the opinions on possibility of teaching of “Pre-conscription readiness of youth” subject under lower grades in the secondary schools, are sounded. Actually, this is pedagogically substantiated opinion. So, the pupils, should first of all know some topics of physics, chemistry, geometry and other relevant subjects in order to possess “Pre-conscription training of youth” subject. Secondly, determination of teaching of “Pre-conscription training of youth” subject for X-XI grades, at the same time optimal distribution of lessin burden of the pupils, are connected with children’ physical readiness and moral-psyhchological maturity. Can we consider that, we have fulfilled most important obligation as patriotism education of youth with teaching of “Pre-conscription training of youth” subject only at the schools? –Undoubtly, teaching of this subject plays important role in pariotism education of youth. Besides, to confine pariotism education of youth with teaching of only one subject is out of reality. So, there is enough opprtunities in order to explain pariotism education in teaching of all subjects especially in humanitarian- public subjects. Personal samples of the persons who demonstrated heroism in the battles for our motherland and lands, sports who raised our flag in international contests, public figures, scientist, writer and art figures are one patterns for the pupils. Certainly, teaching of “Pre-conscription readiness of youth” subject, has significant position in possession of primary knowledges, patriotism education. But there still several problems. This is connected with staff and material- teaching base. Systematic settlement of these problems, is considered as one of core objectives regarding with improvement of teaching level of mentioned subject. Learning of exemplary lessons on pre-conscription training of youth in the secondary schools, also stimulate increase of pupils’ patriotism spirit. Organization of the same lessons will be continued in the next academic year. Attestation of the teachers who teach “Pre-conscription training of youth”, is envisaged. As well as, issue about involvement of reserve officers in “Pre-cosncription training of youth”, is discussed.  It should be noted that, the meetings of the pupils with National Heroes of Azerbaijan Republic, war veterans, are performed, detailed information about martyrs’ life, action and bright dreams, is given. How is the level of colloboration of The Ministry of Education with other governmental bodies on this sphere?  Taking into account importance of education of the learners in patriotim and statehood spirit, as well as great impact of primary military skills, ability and habits to outh; development, “Cəsurlar”, “Şahin”, “Sərhəd” military-sport and tourism republic contests, are held traditionally among the pupils of maina and secondary schools functioning in all region and cities of republic. Also, “Young rescue and fire-extinguishers” republic contest and “Young rescue” international tournament, creative contest on the topic of “Emergency situations with children’  eyes”, serve to the children to be ready for any emergency situations. Pupils have a great interest to such events held jointly by The Ministry of Education with The Ministry of Youth and Sports, The Ministry of Defense, The Ministry of Emergency Situations, The State Border Service, Republic Council of Voluntary Military Patriotism Technical Sport Society and Republic Veterans Union.

Pupils are informed about modern weapons and military techniques, operation rules, also special clothes of soldier and the offiers envisaged for different weather condition, are demonstrated.
