Our country is passing through the rapid development and modernization. The development either in economical, scientific or education fields increases the reputation of the country. The reforms on subject and quality of educational system of our Republic and innovations in the different stages of education put ahead an important task on qualification of higher education. The adoption of the following laws and conclusion of several state documents stimulated the conducted reforms in the higher educational system which is “Law of Education“ 2009, “State standard and program on higher education degree” 2010 and The State Strategy to the development of education of Azerbaijan Republic, 2013. The strategy is setting up the goal to create educational subject supporting the personality, the aspect and capital of human.  The document put forward the clause on pedagogical relationships between teaching staff and educators as one of the key aspects in formation of personality and future citizen. Taking that position and considering an actuality of the problem, the lasting shortage in the relationships between lecturers and students, the negative influence on educational process and elimination of those problems we found expedient to arrange the conference in this field. Lecturer and student relationships are one of the fields in pedagogy and psychology that need large investigation. Meanwhile, the rector specified that the pedagogical efficiency much more depends on lecturer and students’ relationships which are formed on the basis of democratic and humanistic principles. The experience is telling that the teacher and student relationships formed by a democratic style have got much more educational influence. The lecturer has to perceive the student as a person, professional one and trust him. In the mean time, being the positive example the teacher should be respectful and exigent of approach.

It should not be forgotten that the high schools are not only the educational enterprises to deliver appropriate information to the students but also the higher educational centers providing them for the ways in order to achieve the knowledge independently.
