    EDUCATION MINISTRY TO RUN 30 SENIOR SCHOOLS

    ARMENPRESS
    April 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS: This year Armenian education and
    science ministry will start running 30 experimental 'senior schools'
    for 9-th grade students to give them an opportunity for a deeper study
    of subjects in which they would like to major as university students.

    Head of a ministry department dealing with general schools, Narine
    Hovhanesian, told a news conference today that the objective is to
    create an environment that will foster school students to focus on
    their future specialties.

    She said the novelty is expected to reduce the volume of tutoring
    as students of senior schools will get necessary knowledge to get
    enrolled in a university.

    She said four of these schools will be in Yerevan and others in
    regions. In 2009 the ministry plans to increase their number to
    200. As part of the program teachers of senior schools will have
    extensive training course in summer.

    The program was approved by the government, which will release funds
    to back it up.
