It is a well-known fact that schoolchildren are often asked to
bring money to schools for different reasons, let’s say for buying
stamps. Kamo AREYAN, Yerevan deputy mayor, is well aware of the fact
and raised his anger against such incidents at schools, saying "it
is a forced collection of money."

The deputy mayor also said that it is not forbidden by law to collect
money at school but he said it should be made on the principle of
voluntarism. "If we learn about such facts, the principal of the school
will be dismissed not only from the school but from the educational
system," Kamo Areyan warned.
