Highly appreciative of these organizations’ efforts, the Prime Minister
thanked them for sustained focus on education in Armenia and went
on to discuss cooperation areas. Tigran Sargsyan highlighted the
educational reform from the perspective of education quality. The
head of the Armenian government advised that on the initiative of
RA President Serzh Sargsyan, the Republic of Armenia is prepared
to finance educational expenses for all those students admitted to
reputable foreign universities. He mentioned that no pre-conditions
are set for the eligibility of students and academic fields: the only
criterion is the high ranking of host universities. Tigran Sargsyan
noted that the number of eligible students may fail to live up to the
expectations. Nevertheless, what matters most is to realize that the
possibility of getting through with the help of "relatives and friends"
is inadmissible. "Qualified specialists are required in any field and
the State is ready to support those capable of serving their homeland,"
Tigran Sargsyan has underscored.
President of Tavitian Foundation Aso Tavitian and his partners said to
be prepared to go on with the 6-month educational programs in various
fields, as well as to come up with new cooperation-related ideas in
the near future.
