ARMENIA'S EDUCATION MINISTRY AND ARMENIAN ELECTRIC NETWORKS TO ENHANCE SCHOOLCHILDREN'S AWARENESS OF SAFE USAGE OF ELECTRICITY
YEREVAN, September 27. /ARKA/. Armenia's education and science ministry
and the Armenian Electric Networks signed a cooperation agreement
on Friday to intensify their efforts for enhancing secondary school
students' awareness of safe consumption of electric power.
Armenian Electric Networks CEO Evgeny Bibin said that the project
has been launched in early 2012.
"We have already hold lessons in more than 1,200 secondary schools
in all the provinces of Armenia," he said. "The project is intended
for fourth-to-seventh-year students at secondary schools. Its main
aim is to prevent accidents. We put emphasis on accident prevention."
Bibin said that the company's specialists tell schoolchildren about
essential rules of accident prevention and about first medical aid.
He also said that the staff of Multishok, a magazine for children
which has a long experience of working with schoolchildren, issued a
special illustrated booklet on the initiative of the Armenian Electric
Networks. The booklet will tell children what electricity is, what
power plants exist, how electricity is distributed and how to treat
it. Bibin said that an open-door day is announced for school and
university students every year as part of the program.
Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan, on his side, said
that the ministry attaches great importance to cooperation with the
private sector.
"Unfortunately, the culture of such cooperation is still not spread
widely among Armenia's business elite, and that is why we consider
this cooperation agreement very important," he said.
The minister said that after completion of the signing ceremony
he will visit the Armenian Electric Networks' education center and
will consider prospects for the company's cooperation with higher
education establishments.
The Armenian Electric Networks CJSC, a subsidiary of Russia's INTER
RAO UES, is the sole distributor of electric power among consumers
in Armenia. The company serves some 950 consumers.-0----
