Ombudsman of Armenia says decision of authorities may lead to reduction in teachers’ salaries and kindergartens’ budget

Laws related to education, local government, science and scientific and technical activities had to be brought up for public discussion. The Ombudsman of Armenia Arman Tatoyan stated this at a press conference. 

He noted that these areas are directly related to human rights, and the authorities did not justify their decisions in terms of human rights, a mechanical approach was applied.

"Removing the threshold of salaries can lead to a reduction in teachers' salaries and a reduction in the budget for kindergartens, which is directly related to the human rights to education, as it affects its quality," Tatoyan added.
