This information was provided to ‘İCTnews’ by head of ‘the Program for ‘Microsoft-Azerbaijan’ Cooperation in Education’,  Emin Axundov.   According to him, of 400 projects involved in the contest only 25 reached the final.  9 of these 25 projects were from Baku city, the others – from the regions.

The projects from the regions were able to reach the final stage because schools in regions had been provided with internet access. Thus, teachers presented their projects to the board of justices via the internet.
