Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Armenia Arayik Harutyunyan went live on Facebook and declared that the salaries of teachers will remain the same, even though classes will be suspended until March 23.

“The missed classes will be supplemented with additional lessons, and exams will be conducted later. The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport has developed a number of actions and methods to encourage distance learning for the time being, and based on those methods, we will offer the most primitive way, that is, communication via e-mail. When classes resume, we will hold additional lessons,” the minister said.

Arayik Harutyunyan stated that there is no decision to close cultural institutions at this moment.
