In Nagorno Karabakh Republic with a population of 139.4 thousand by a
census taken in 2005 there is a state university and 7 private
universities, some of them are branches of universities of
Armenia. Statistics suggests that 86 per cent of young people enter
universities after leaving school. Besides, after the adoption of the
law on civil service civil servants have to get corresponding higher
education. Instead, the number of technical specialists is going
down. For instance, last year they had to invite builders from Armenia
to repair the roofs of buildings in Stepanakert.
Nevertheless, in Karabakh they have decided to solve the problem of
people who studied in private universities, but are sure of their
knowledge and are ready to take exams to get a state diploma.
Recently the government has adopted a corresponding decision. The
alumni of private universities can take state exams before the end of
the academic year of 2006-2007 to get a state diploma.
