ASSISTANCE TO SCHOOLS FOR SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN EDUCATION

Azat Artsakh Daily, Republic of Nagorno Karabakh [NKR]
27 March 07

The educational reform prolonged school education to 12 years, and
children started going to school at 6. Meanwhile, not all the schools
were prepared to educate 6-year-old children, which requires a new
approach to furnishing the classrooms, didactic materials, methods,
etc. This issue is in the focus of attention of the government but it
cannot afford to solve the problem on the scarce state funds. The
minister of education has touched upon this problem at different
occasions and asked organizations and individuals to contribute to the
solution of this problem. The first response came from the Democratic
Party of Artsakh. The partyâ??s city council (chairwoman
Lyudmila Barseghian) provided didactic materials for 6-year-old
children to all the schools of the capital. The ceremony of donation
took place at school N 7. During the meeting with the teachers and
deputy directors of the schools Member of Parliament Lyudmila
Barseghian, the chair of the city council of the Democratic Party,
said education of children is not only the problem of the government,
it should be in the focus of attention of the society, and everyone
must contribute to it. She called on all the individuals and
organizations to help the schools where the future citizens of the
country are brought up.
