Deputy Minister: of 1.1 thousand students only 300-350 moved to other
schools

YEREVAN, September 5. / ARKA /. Of the 1.1 thousand students, only
300-350 moved to other schools from 13 Armenian universities
dispossessed of their licenses, Deputy Minister of Education and
Science of Armenia Ara Avetisyan told the journalists on Friday in the
Novosti International Press Center.

According to the results of the inspections, in February 2009, 13
commercial and private universities received suspended licenses to
operate in Armenia.

In those 13 schools, there were about 1.1 thousand students.

As the deputy minister noted, from 1109 students, only about 500-600
people submitted transfer applications. Only 300-350 students were
directly involved in the transfer process.

"The other students did not request a transfer to other colleges, which
I think is because it would reveal who they were," Avetisyan said.

According to him, from about 600 applicants, students who were
unwilling to be transferred in the format prescribed by law were not
transferred at all.

Armenia has 17 public universities and 50 non-state higher educational
institutions, not including branches of foreign universities and
universities with the state participation. A.B. `0-
