the draft to the RA new law "On General Education" took place at the
Yerevan State University on February 14. In the words of Hranush
Hakobian, the Chairwoman of the NA Standing Committee on Science,
Education, Culture and Youth Issues, it will be possible as a result of
free and serious discussions of the draft to gather all the questions
and to clearly and correctly work out the law. It will in its turn
give possibility to prevent in future making oftenly amendments and
additions to the most important law of the country, involving the
whole society. "As a result of constitutional amendments, questions
of the sphere were changed, and a neccesity arose to widen the RA law
"On Education." Armenia undertook obligation within the framework of
the Bologna process to reform the sphere of education, starting from
the preparative classes. We have the basis on which it is possible to
create what we want," H.Hakobian expressed a confidence. The Committee
Chairwoman also mentioned that it is necessary to unite in future all
the laws relating to the sphere, creating an "Educational Code," which
will regulate and coordinate all the relations from the preparative
classes to after-graduate education. In the words of Bagrat Yesayan,
the RA Deputy Minister of Education and Science, the time showed that
there are omissions in the sphere of general education. And "omissions
of the legislative field concerning the sphere will open" by creation
of this new law. The main rights and obligations of participants of
the general education: students, parents and pedagogues, commissions
of administrative bodies of the general education system and main
principles of their financing are also fixed in the draft to the new
law. The Deputy Minister added that in some times after adoption of
the draft, the Ministry will initiate creation of the "Educational
Code" as well.
