/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We have started preparing for the 2011 educational
crisis since the current year, Minister of Education and Science Armen
Ashotyan says. "Since we’ll have practically no high school graduates
in 2011, there are going to be problems in terms of maintaining
certain university chairs," he told Tuesday a news conference.

"In 2012, higher educational institutions will have to admit maximum
number of students in order to save means. We all will have to take
joint measures to overcome the transition impact," Minister noted.

At that, he stressed the importance of establishing a stricter control
over assessment procedures, calling on parents not to be misled by
promises that their children can leave school ahead of time. "That’s
illegal and impossible," Mr. Ashotyan said, adding that the Ministry
had managed to avert 3 such cases.
