Innovative Educational Infrastructure and Development of Science in

The Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan

Abstract

The integration of advanced technology, science, and infrastructure into education is a core element of this transformation. Nakhchivan, an autonomous region of Azerbaijan, has taken significant steps toward educational reform, particularly focusing on integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into its curriculum. Previous studies emphasize the critical role of innovative infrastructure in enhancing educational outcomes, particularly in STEM fields. STEM education emphasizes hands-on learning and encourages students to explore real-world problems through experimentation and inquiry. Today's ever-changing world requires people to constantly adapt to unpredictable situations and find solutions to complex problems. In conclusion, STEM education is critical for the future of innovation and economic development.
