The coronavirus, which spread rapidly around the world, did not pass Azerbaijan. At the state
level, all necessary measures were taken and preventive measures were taken at the highest
level to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Azerbaijan and protect public health. One of the
first measures was the closure of secondary and higher schools. Teachers, administration and
the Ministry of Education began to look for suitable ways, so that pupils and students do not
lag behind classes. In these circumstances, distance education has become relevant. However,
the fact that all classes suddenly began to be held online created certain problems. The lack of
high speed internet in some parts of the country is one of the main problems. Therefore, experts
have developed a number of methods for this, both based on the experience of developed
countries, and the requirements of the current situation. In secondary schools, assignments are
given weekly or daily, and are checked by teachers at the end of the day or week. In this process
that requires responsibility, pupils also learn to report. One of these methods is TV tutorial
project launched by The Ministry of Education. If all students in a class have high-speed
Internet access, they can join online classes, both listen to a new lesson, and address their
questions to teachers. First, lectures were given to students in universities, and videos on the
subject were posted on the YouTube channel. Later, this process was continued by Microsoft
Teams, Zoom and other programs. However, secondary and higher schools are still not open
due to the epidemic. Exam methods are also considered. During the epidemic in Azerbaijan,
there are studied teaching methods and their results, are made comparisons with educational
institutions of developed countries, and proposed new methods.
