50 TEACHERS FIRED AS A RESULT OF EDUCATION SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION OFFERED JOBS IN THE COUNTRY

Yerevan, January 16. ArmInfo. The teachers who became "victims" of
the education system optimization have been offered jobs in villages
against big compensation, says the chief of the State Employment
Service Sona Haroutyunyan.

There are just 50 vacancies in the regions and as many as 7,000
fired teachers.

Those who will agree to go to the country will get a one-time $1,500
compensation, $900 more for moving and high wages and houses.

Preference will be given to teachers who can teach more than two
school subjects.

Haroutyunyan says that in 2006 65 jobless teachers agreed to go
to the country, while 518 people agreed to exercise their right
of re-qualification. Meanwhile, 1,600 people are still outside the
program for fired teachers rehabilitation.
