The handicapped persons are the most vulnerable group of our
society. During the two-day international conference on "Long-term
objectives of special education reforms: New view, new approaches"
organized by the Armenian Ministry of Education Science and the
"Bridge of Hope" NGO, the participants are expected to discuss issues
of special education and reforms in the sphere.
Guests from Latvia, Serbia, Hungary and the Czech Republic participate
in the conference alongside Armenian specialists.
"Our Ministry has implemented a number of reforms in the fields of
special and inclusive education over the past years. It pays special
attention to children who need special educational conditions. A number
of legislative amendments have been adopted. I’d like to emphasize
the role of the "Bridge of Hope" NGO in the revolutionary reforms
implemented in Armenia," RA Minister of Education and Science Armen
Ashotyan said in his opening remarks.
