ASHTARAK, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "There is no alternative to the
process of educational reforms in Armenia and unless we take this way
we will miss the opportunity to be considered an educational state
we were in the years of Soviet Union." RA Minister of Education and
Science Levon Mkrtchian expressed such an opinion at the February
7 meeting with teachers’ collective of village of Kosh, Aragatsotn
region. In his words, the system of general education will play a
decisive role in success of reforms. Therefore, the Ministry has
started discussing the problems of educational reforms at regional
schools.
L.Mkrtchian said that the biggest shortcoming of policy of senior
school’s reform is lack of publicity. For this purpose once a month the
Ministry will inform the public about the problems of the system. In
the Minister’s words, the main problems of schools are heating,
housing conditions, retraining of teachers, etc. By the way, the
Minister – member of ARFD Supreme Body considers it inadmissible when
school headmasters unexpectedly move from one party to another. In
L.Mkrtchian’s words, "the latters should not mix up their party
problems with the educational proces, which is always done."
