    GOVERNMENT UNWILLING TO HELP GIFTED CHILDREN


    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14. ARMINFO. Fifteen winners of international
    mathematics, physics, informatics, and chemistry competitions have
    received presents of the RA National Academy of Sciences (ANAS). The
    ceremony of presenting the gifted children with encyclopedias and
    photo cameras was held on the occasion of International Science Day.

    Head of republican and international competitions Garnik Tonoyan
    compared looking for talents to prospecting gold in the country's
    entrails, pointing out that the Government is rather passive in this
    matter. According to him, the pupils' achievements are their own
    service, as ordinary comprehensive schools have not potential for
    preparing talented children. Schools have no manuals, and teachers
    cannot answer gifted children's questions. Tonoyan stressed that the
    International Scientific-Technical Organization, which allegedly spent
    20mln. USD on revealing talented children, has not actually spend a
    single dollar to sponsor the participants in international
    competitions. "The matter is that the Government has no strategy to
    support talented pupils," Tonoyan said. As a result, Armenian
    prodigies do not receive such good prizes as their peers from
    Azerbaijan and Georgia. The winners of competitions visited the
    country's scientific centers, where scientists told them about their
    achievements in mathematics, physics, medical genetics, etc..
