YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: Newly created mobile internet center
opened today in the National Center of Educational Technology. Armenian
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Education and Science Minister Spartak
Seyranian, head of the World Bank "Education Quality and Relevance
Program" Juan Manuel Moreno were present at the event.
The mobile center has a classroom with computers connected to
Internet. It is intended for 6 pupils and one teacher. Director of
National Center of Educational Technology Areg Grigorian said that
the mobile center will give an opportunity to organize classes on
"Informatics" in Armenia’s remote areas which do not have enough
computers and are not connected to Internet. Training classes for
teachers on computer skills, Internet and electronic post are also
expected to be carried out.
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan congratulated on the establishment of
the center and expressed hope that it will serve for its purpose and
pupils and teachers in provinces will get necessary knowledge.
Education and Science Minister S. Seyranian noted that the mobile
center will serve to its purpose but the wish is that the day comes
when Internet and computer be available in the most remote villages.
The experimental operation of the center will kick off in two days in
Anipemza village of Shirak province. Next year the center is expected
to visit schools of remote areas.
