"One of ten children partly or completely is left out of educational
programs," Karine Hakobyan, chairwoman of "Reforms" public
organization, told a discussion today.

In her words, schools are free of charge but it is only seemingly
because there are costs connected with transport, textbooks, clothes
which are unaffordable for some layers. There are problems connected
with Bologna process in the higher educational establishments, she
said. "It enables to work and continue education with our diploma in
European countries. Is it in the interests of our country now?"

she raises the question. She said without that excellent students
are leaving the country. The state must not spend money to educate
them to create favorable conditions for migration.
