YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, NOYAN TAPAN. This year the results of university
entrance examinations show that comprehensive schools have serious
problems related to teaching of natural sciences, the RA minister
of education and science Levon Mkrtchian stated at the August 17
press conference.

According to him, the number of low marks at examinations in such
subjects as mathematics, chemistry and physics increased this year
as compared with last year. The minister said that judging from
examination results, the level of teaching chemistry at schools
is expecially low, as a result of which the number of entrants who
prefer this speciality has declined. It was mentioned that only 18
out of 25 educational places allocated to Yerevan State University’s
(YSU) Department of Chemistry have been filled.

“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
