HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT HAVE GREAT FREEDOM IN ROTATION SYSTEM

This is the second year that the rotation system has been introduced
into the higher educational establishments of Armenia. The main
principle is that students on tuition fee may be transferred to free
of charge system in case they demonstrate high achievement. The same
is true for the students on free education who may be transferred to
paid tuition system in case they lower their achievement.

Department head at the ministry of education and science Sasun
Melikyan was asked by Panorama.am about the number of students who
shifted from one system to another, to which Melikyan answered: `These
calculations are made by the higher educational establishments and
they do not report to us.’ He also said the ministry does not
supervise that and higher educational establishment have great freedom
in deciding on such matters.
