CREDIT EDUCATION SYSTEM TO FUNCTION FOR ALL PROFESSIONS OF YSU
MAGISTRACY FROM NEW ACADEMIC YEAR
YEREVAN, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The credit education system will
function for all profession of the magistracy at the Yerevan State
University starting from the 2007-2008 academic year. It supposes
increase of the education quality of the magistracy and it’s
correspondence to the international standards.
YSU Rector Aram Simonian stated about it at the March 1 press
conference.
A.Simonian mentioned that the current educational year was rather full
in the sense of reforms of higher educational institutions: both
contents and staff changes were made at the higher educational
institution. The YSU Rector also stated that works on introduction of
the credit system are done in the sector of bachelor’s education as
well: it will probably be implemented in a year.
"Connected with introduction of the new system, the YSU actively
cooperated during the recent period with almost all state institutions
of higher education of the republic, particularly, with the State
Engineering University of Armenia, M.Heratsi State Medical University,
State Economy University of Armenia, Agrarian University of Armenia,"
A.Simonian mentioned, noticing that state institutions of higher
education in Armenia more cooperate with foreign universities than
with each other. In his words, it would be more effective if Armenian
institutions of higher education are able to start correct cooperation
with each other in all directions: educational, scientific, exchange
of experience, etc. At present, the State University cooperates with
the SEUA not only at the educational level but also in the sphere of
scientific-research works. There is a preliminary agreement with the
same institution of higher education for founding such a center which
will be engaged in the problem of making scientific researches
commercial which will be directly connected with production. Those
predominating directions and spheres by which it is purposeful to do
scientific-research work are already defined at the YSU. A.Simonian
also mentioned that some staff policy is carried on at the higher
educational insitution in this direction: seven new scientific centers
and two laboratories were founded. It is also envisaged to work out
scientific-educational programs in the sphere of Ottaman Studies as
there are only 1-2 specialists in that sphere.
