The Mir interstate TV Company has addressed the reforms of Armenia’s
higher education system launched in Armenia. The source reported that
the reforms will be completed in the country in 2014, but the first
steps, abolition of student grants, has been made.
Referring to the RA Ministry of Education, the TV Company reports
that the current system is "obsolete." "The problem is that the
number of insolvent students is increasing year by year. The annual
tuition fee ranges from U.S. $1,000 to $1,500. Officials say that the
abolition of grants will allow them to support insolvent straight A
students. But students did not support the idea of assistance fund,"
the TV Company reports.
