Bagrat Yesayan, deputy minister of education and culture, told
news reporters July 4 that a core element of reforms in secondary
schools is the organizational and moral problems, namely elimination
of unfair attitude. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the trust
and respect for teachers and restore respect in teachers for their
profession. Therefore, Bagrat Yesayan suggests improving training of
teachers and admitting teachers by contest to eliminate subjective
attitude of directors and prevent nepotism.
The deputy minister suggests another thing: "The teacher-student
distance has been lost. How can a teacher educate a student if they
go to restaurants and other places of entertainment?" They will not
be allowed to go to restaurants together except the graduation party.
Of course, the Ministry of Education and Science is going to involve
parent councils as well. These councils must become more active and
have a serious role in school management, both in terms of fundraising
and spending. "Society is first of all the school."
In tackling money collecting and private classes the support of
parents and the entire society is expected. These phenomena will
not be uprooted, but will be taxed. It will facilitate control on
spending. The school will hold special courses for students, the fees
will be paid to the school, teachers will get additional payment.
