    EDUC ATION CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN ANTELIAS


    His Holiness Aram I has invited an education conference in Antelias on
    August 24-26. The conference will be the second in its type, following the
    August 2004 meeting entitled "Armenian education in the Diaspora".

    The initial conference had come to several decisions that emphasized
    encouraging children's literature and reorganizing the teaching of Armenian
    language, history and religion in Armenian schools.

    In regard to children's literature, a special committee has already been
    formed due to the efforts of the Pontiff and the director of the Department
    of Armenian Affairs of the Gulbenkian Foundation, Dr. Zaven Yegavian.

    The second pan-Armenian conference will thus focus on the teaching of
    Armenian language, history and religion. Participants will include experts
    in this field, including teachers, authors of textbooks and representatives
    of educational committees, around 40 people in total from the various
    dioceses of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    The conference will examine the current situation of these taught topics and
    draw out guidelines for their reorganization in all aspects. A preparations'
    committee has already been appointed under the guidance of His Holiness Aram
    I. Its members include Vosgeperan Arzoumanian, Yervant Pamboukian, Bebo
    Simonian, Kevork Kandaharian, Jirayr Tanielian and Sarkis Giragossian.
