ArmInfo. The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, in the framework of cooperation with the Public Television of Armenia, agreed that students of public educational institutions of the country will be able to continue their studies thanks to the air of the TV channel. Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia Arayik Harutyunyan announced this on March 18.
He said that the curriculum will be broadcast on television daily from 8:30 to 9:30, and will continue from 11:30 to 12:40. In addition, the minister noted that an offer was received from the Ucom telecommunication company, which is ready to provide a separate channel for conducting lessons around the clock. At this stage, the Ministry is meeting with teachers who have shown a willingness to read the training course in a similar format. At the same time, all training materials will be collected on a separate Youtube channel.
In this regard, Harutyunyan emphasized that Ucom subscribers will be able to use this site without removing Internet traffic. "I hope that other TC-operators of Armenia join this initiative, creating opportunities for distance learning for our students," he said. Over the next 2 weeks, the Ministry intends to monitor the distance education course, starting from the process of receiving tasks via e-mail, and ending with live group broadcasts on social networks in order to understand how effective training is and whether it will be necessary to extend the educational process after the emergency cancellation in the country .
To recall, the Government of Armenia on March 16, in order to prevent the threat of the spread of coronavirus, decided to declare a state of emergency in the country from 18:30 on March 16 to 17:00 on April 14.
