MUSIC SCHOOL IS IN A DEPLORABLE CONDITION

The music school of Hoktemberyan village, Armavir marz, is in a
hopeless state. One can smell humidity in the classrooms and in the
hall. All musical instruments are past repair.

In September 2008 the municipal council sold part of the building
to the "Armavir Jom" Company. The latter refitted the section it
had purchased.

The music school is under the control of the municipal council. Village
Head Babken Vardanyan says huge sums are needed to repair the school.

"I have been working at school for 23 years. Once we had 130 pupils
but today their number has reduced to 30. We cannot give lessons in
such miserable conditions," says Anahit Chakhoyan, assistant director
of the music school.

The school had talented pupils most of whom continued their studies
at higher musical institutions and were awarded with diplomas and
letters of thanks.

Despite the school’s achievements, most parents prefer sending their
children to other schools providing minimum conveniences.

"Our staff continues to pass knowledge and experience to future
generations regardless of the low salary which doesn’t even suffice
to afford the bare necessities," adds the assistant director.
