Education: Only 51% of Armenia’s residents have higher education diplomas

ARKA, Armenia
July 3 2017

YEREVAN, July 3. /ARKA/. Levon Mkrtchyan, Armenian education and science minister, speaking Monday in the National Assembly at the discussion of the 2016 government budget execution, dispelled a myth that all in Armenia want to provide their children with higher education.

“Statements that everybody in Armenia has higher education diplomas have nothing in common with the reality,” he said. 

In his words, only 51% of the country’s residents have higher education diplomas, while the median European standard is 60 to 65 percent. 

“We should restore our traditions and create engineering and technical clusters, and the package of the higher education system development is aimed at that,” Mkrtchyan said. –0—
