YEREVAN, December 23. /ARKA/. The results of complex quality
inspections of education and fulfillment of conditions specified by
licenses of Armenia’s non-state higher schools will be summed up in
mid-January 2009, said RA Minister of Education and Science Spartak
Seyranyan.

"I do not think it is wrong if in the result of inspections some
higher schools will have to return state licenses for implementation
of educational programs," he told reporters on Tuesday.

Seyranyan noted the Ministry’s main aim is to ensure high-quality
education.

"That is why we have to solve all the problems that interfere with
ensuring quality fast and by means of radical reforms," underlined
Seyranyan.

According to the RA Ministry of Education and Science, 73 private
higher schools operate in Armenia.
