/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The main challenge Microsoft-Armenia faces today
is to incorporate Information Technology in teaching humanities,
the president of Microsoft office in Armenia Grigor Barseghyan told
a news conference entitled "Usage of technology and new methods in
education" .

Information technologies occupy more space in our lives and
incorporation of information technology in education is very important
and timely today, he said.

As RA minister of education and science Armen Ashotyan stressed,
there are still some problems in the country, in particular, related
to computer access, which have to be solved.

Under two agreements between Microsoft and ministry of education and
science educational institutions of the country have been provided
with licensed software.

In the framework of Partners in Education Microsoft funded hundreds
of projects worldwide totaling $ 500 million. Since 2008 Armenia also
involved in Partners in Learning.
