APPLICANTS TO TAKE OXFORD TESTS
[07:19 pm] 24 November, 2006
The training program for Armenian teachers has been
declared the best during the conference in Saint
Petersburg in which Ministers of Education of 11
countries participated.
Minister of Education and Science Levon Lazarian
rendered a press conference today in order to inform
the journalists about the radical educational reforms
which have been done and will be done. According to
him, the results will be obvious in 2009-2010. `We
work in two directions: to prepare reforms of
specialized education and to find necessary technical
grounds. At present we are trying to find partners and
sources of financing. We do our best not to trouble
the budget much’. The Minister mentioned that all the
business trips realized lately have that very aim.
In order to secure the objectivity during the
school-leaving exams, the RA Ministry of education has
decided to prepare the tests in Oxford, like the
Ministry of Education of Georgia. `If the printing
houses of Armenia don’t get the tests, no one will
have access to them and it will be impossible to
spread them’, Levon Lazarian mentioned.
