Baku - On 12 November 2020, IOM Azerbaijan kicked off the online English classes for selected students of Azerbaijan Institute of Theology (AIT), operating under the State Committee on Religious Association. The courses take place within the Public Action for Resilience (PAR) Activity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The online English language classes are designed as complementary to the teaching curriculum and offer an opportunity for both the personal and academic development of participants. The classes were supposed to start back in March, which due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent conflict escalation had been postponed.

The six-month-length online English classes will be conducted in 5 (five) groups, where the learners are grouped in accordance with the results of placement tests. In total 50 youth with 22 female participants will benefit from the online English classes. The online lessons will be held via the Microsoft Teams' online teaching platform as AIT learners are familiar with this platform and have been using it for online learning since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
