Serob Khachatryan: They only check the child’s ability to memorize, which no one needs

Education expert Serob Khachatryan considers the most important step in the first hundred days of the Ministry of Education and Science to be the goal of non-politicization of education.

“We have a bad legacy from the previous authorities, now we have to understand where to start the reforms.”

The expert considers it unacceptable to replace the graduation exams with single exams.

“The Ministry announces that the directors will be responsible for the results, it’s wrong, there are many factors affecting the child’s progress, and now if these exams take place in a strict way, there will be a big market for tutors.”

According to the expert, the children of poor families will suffer in this case.

According to Serop Khachatryan, the quality of exam tasks is not good.

“They only check the child’s ability to memorize, which no one needs.”

He offers to start the reforms with the improvement of teaching ways of foreign languages.

“If children have a good knowledge of foreign languages, we will have a great flight, as it was in Singapore.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
