The first Sunday of October is traditionally marked as Teacher’s Day.
It’s been seven years that the results of the annual "Best teacher
of the year" and "Best kindergarten teacher" have been summed up at
the initiative and with the support of the Government of Armenia.
Today Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan personally handed the keys of
Hyundai Getz to the winners. Anush Mehrabyan, teacher of biology of
Ijevan School #1 could not conceal her excitement. "I’m very excited
and I’m grateful to our Government that I was awarded this prize,"
she said.
The surprise was really successful. Anush Mehrabyan and Arpik
Hovakilmyan, teacher of Gavar kindergarten #7, will long remember
October 7, 2008. They will remember and will tell their grandchildren
that they received the keys of Hyundai Getz personally from the Prime
Minister of the republic.
Tigran Sargsyan also turned over the pages of his school memories. He
confessed he was a naughty pupil but remembers his first teacher
with great love and tenderness. "I remember that my first teacher was
Ruzanna Sergeevna, who was teaching Russian language and literature. I
remember she was a rather exacting teacher. I was very naughty. My
first memory is that the freedoms of the child were restricted at
school. Yo u have to follow the rules established at school and the
teacher sees to it that you don’t break the rules."
In compliance with the decree of the President of the Republic of
Armenia, a number of teachers from different marzes of Armenia were
awarded Movses Khotenatsi medals and were granted the title of honored
teacher for their contribution to bringing up the younger generation.
President Serzh Sargsyan pays great attention to ensuring the wellbeing
of teachers in our country. In his address at the National Assembly
the President once again emphasized the importance of the educational
system, considering it a priority for our country. This very idea
lies in the basis of the Government’s activity.
Tigran Sargsyan said new surprises are awaiting teachers in 2009. "The
salaries will rise, reaching 116 on the average. "You shape the future
of our state by bringing up deserved citizens and invaluable is the
work you are doing today. The issues of teachers are in the focus of
our attention," the Prime Minister said.
