Congratulatory message by RA President Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion
of Knowledge Day

Dear Teachers and Parents,

Dear schoolchildren,

I congratulate you on the occasion of Knowledge Day.

The well-known maxim "Knowledge is power" is particularly valid
in the contemporary world. The more educated the society, the more
opportunities it has to organize its life, provide for its well-being,
preserve and develop its culture.

That universal truth is core of the plan of action of the Government of
Armenia. Problems concerning the system of education and the process
of its reformation are in the center of our attention.

I especially congratulate the first graders who are entering school
for the first time to discover a new world which has no boundaries –
the world of books, "an infinite universe".

I wish the teachers and students success in the new school year. Let
it be a productive year, since every day and even every year is
important for knowledge acquisition. Knowledge is the promise for
Armenia’s strength and standing.
