YEREVAN, MARCH 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The main components of the credit
(gathering and passing of academic credits) system for estimation of
knowledge were introduced in the bachelor’s system of the State

year. As Yuri Suvarian, the SEUA Rector informed the Noyan Tapan
correspondent, the process of introduction of that system in the
higher educational institution meet with approval of the World Bank
(WB) experts, and it is envisaged that the SEUA will be involved in

make it more complete.

In his words, another important component of that system, "selected
courses," will be used in the SEUA in the next academic year, and the
2nd year and high courses students of the bachelor’s system will have
possibility of choice of a course and lecturer.

Yu. Suvarian attached importance to creation of the university
consortium in the republic what will give possibility to use another
component of the credit system, students’ "moveability" among higher
educational institutions (also abroad) when a student will have
possibility to gather credits in the institution of higher education

"This problem can not be solved only within the framework of one
institution of higher education: when all state institutions of higher
education will completely use the credit system, we shall cooperate
and implement that program as well," the SEAU Rector mentioned.
