    THE MINISTER OF SCIENCE AND EDUCATION HAS MUCH TO DO

    Our politicians like to repeat on every occasion that the struggle has
    been transported from the battle field to the economic sphere where
    we are again obliged to win. At the first sight it is a brilliant idea.

    But only at the first sight. If we want our state to be competitive
    in the economic sphere, logically we suppose that we need proficient
    cadres, that the knowledge acquired must be in keeping with the
    modern world. Do our schools really have this potential, do the higher
    educational institutions graduate required cadres?

    It is no secret that the education in our country is at quite a low
    level but the curious thing is that the problem, instead of being
    settled, is continually expanding. The institution of high schools did
    not justify itself, yet with a shaky base of science and education
    we can never expect a bright future. Sound competition always gives
    good results and it is desirable to secure sound competition in all
    spheres of life including the educational sphere as well. Whereas today
    learners who finish school with satisfactory marks enter University
    very easily and then again appear in the classroom with the register
    in their hands. Such cases are not unique, especially in village
    schools. When I was teaching at our village school I clearly knew the
    abilities of the pupils and some of them could never be something more
    than craftsmen whereas today they have returned as teachers to our
    school and I cannot even imagine what they teach. And unwillingly I
    remembered one of Education and Science Minister Vladik Khachatryan's
    meetings with the teachers of Hadrout region when he was speaking
    excitedly about the low education level and was trying to find out the
    reason. One of the headmasters explained the situation in this way:
    "Sir, this is because we hardly give a satisfactory mark in order to
    let the learner leave school, yet he is sent back in 4 years with a
    diploma to get a job at the same school". Unfortunately, no conclusions
    were inferred from this and the situation remained unchanged.

    According to the NKR Labour Code at the age of 63 citizens retire,
    one of the NKR laws which is properly implemented but does not always
    result in a desired way.

    The point is that not always competent specialists come instead of
    experienced teachers and many parents have to pay for their children's
    additional courses with the retired teachers. In fact, the problem of
    unemployment is settled in some way, two people are simultaneously
    paid for teaching the same subject, to be more serious, there are
    people who cannot afford to pay for these supportive lessons and
    it means that some children do not get enough knowledge, especially
    in village schools where the art of additional courses has not been
    formed yet. Pupils from the villages nearby come to Stepanakert, but...

    After all, neither Naira Tamrazyan, nor our dearest Adelina
    Mousheghovna will ever be short of pupils while pupils will always
    feel a great need for such specialists.

    The question is what is more important: following the law or bringing
    up a competitive generation with bright future? Up to when will
    the educational system be observed as a business deal, after all
    it determines our country's future, it turns a whole generation
    into invalids?

    In contrast to all this we clearly understand that we need a
    competitive generation...
