    72 PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN ARMENIA

    Such a figure exceeding far beyond the number of state universities
    suggests that quantity is not necessarily quality. Five out of these
    72 are branches of foreign universities, 28 have state accreditation.

    Only 7 out of the 72 have state-accredited specialties. According to
    Mher Makichyan, the head of the Agency for Licensing of the Service
    of Accreditation of the Ministry of Education and Science, there are
    over ten universities, which got state accreditation via courts. The
    head of the agency declined to say how the courts reached such a
    deal. Maybe the answer is apparent.

    The accreditation of private universities by the Ministry of Education
    and Science began in 2001. From February 7 to March 14 of 2006 the
    Ministry started qualification of 20 private educational institutions
    with 24 higher educational and 19 vocational specialties. In the final
    stage of qualification tests in 70 subjects were held, 6 educational
    institutions and 11 specialties failed.

    These educational institutions were rejected the right to participate
    in the next stage of qualification.

    The Ministry of Education and Culture is going to extend the improved
    plan of accreditation to the government of Armenia. The unlimited
    accreditation will be replaced by a 5-8 year accreditation.
