"High-quality education is not acceptable for students due to
corruption. We suggest mechanisms for combating the phenomenon,"
says Janna Budaryan, a member of "Hope" Student Initiative Group.
On May 3, thousands of students moved to the RoA Government building
shouting, "Yerevan State University," and "Armenia." They wanted to
hand the Prime Minister a letter with their suggestions to improve
educational system. According to the Initiative Group members,
corruption has become a deeply-rooted phenomenon in Armenia.
In respond to A1+'s question whether they had ever encountered
corruption, a second-year student Artak said, "We face corruption
every day and at each step."
The participants of "Hope" read their letter in front of the Government
premises and presented its provisions; ~U Combating corruption ~U
Supervising the admission process to higher educational institutions
~U Increasing professors' salaries
According to the authors, the portfolio of the Minister of Education
shouldn't belong to any party.
The students handed the letter to Alexander Ghazaryan, the Deputy
Minister of Regional Government, who promised to meet their
requirements.
