DO WE NEED A DIPLOMA RATHER THAN A SPECIALIST?

"Perhaps Karabakh is in the first place by the rate of university
graduates," says Arthur Jevanshiryan, director of the Agricultural
College of Stepanakert. "The country abounds in universities and
colleges. I think the situation the college faces is clear. It
seems we have all the necessary departments. Our college trains
economists, accountants, financiers, vets, specialists of transport
and shipment, agricultural machines, mechanization, etc. This year
we can admit 170 students, including 45 scholarships. So far only 45
have applied. 45 is too few. There is also a vocational college, and
only 13 have applied. What can I say, the government provided all the
necessary conditions and everyone wants and can enter a university
despite their abilities. On top of all, students can enter Artsakh
State University by a mere interview. The law on civil service also
"favored" this process. In accordance with the law, a person without
a higher education cannot be accepted to work except first category
specialists. An accountant with 10 years of experience is fired
because he or she does not have a higher education. Do we need a
diploma rather than a specialist? We will be reaping the fruits of
this mess in the system of education later."
