YEREVAN, AUGUST 13, ARMENPRESS: A senior official of the Armenian
education and science ministry said today the European Union will
give Armenia 15 million euros to help it reform its vocational and
pre-school education establishments.

Samvel Pipoyan, head of the ministry’s vocational and pre-school
education department, said the money will be spent in three stages
in 2008-2010.

The first stage will be to improve housing conditions and upgrade their
material and technical basis, the second will be to train about 3.500
teachers and the last one will be to develop a new tuition methodology.

Samvel Pipoyan also said the salaries of teachers in vocational schools
will increase next year by 5,000 Drams to 30,000 and to 90,000 Drams
in 2009.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
