YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, NOYAN TAPAN. In comparison with previous years,
the knowledge level of the entrants taking an examination in the
"Physics" has reduced to some extent. This statement was made by Roma
Alaverdian, the Chairman of the Subject Board, in his interview with
a Noyan Tapan correspondent. 242 entrants received the highest marks,
that is between 18 to 20 points, from this examination by August 5
and 500 entrants received unsatisfactory marks. The number of the
entrants, who did not surpass the positive threshold of this subject,
that is to say, received less than 8 points, made about 18% by the
above-mentioned day. Thus, according to the Chairman of the Subject
Board, those entrants do not have even elementary knowledge in physics,
which is an inadmissible fact.
In the words of Roma Alaverdian, such a situation is mainly explained
by the circumstance that schools are almost not provided with necessary
educational and technical means. "The teaching of Physics, as well
as that of a number of other subjects, should certainly be combined
with practical work," he mentioned.
Nvard Yernjakian, the Chairwoman of the Board of the written English
examination, informed a Noyan Tapan correspondent that the examinations
have passed in a quiet atmosphere and that there are no violations and
cases of cipher use registered so far. "However, cases are registered,
when entrants help each other without realizing that they are rivals,"
Nvard Yernjakian said.
