YEREVAN, June 27. / ARKA /.Prime minister Tigran Sarkisian visited
last Saturday Armenia's third-largest town of Vanadzor, the capital
of northwestern province of Lori, to hand diplomas to the graduates
of the local teachers' training institute and the local branch of
the State Engineering University who graduated cum laude and then
visited the town of Alaverdi to hand Republican Patty membership
cards to its newly enrolled members.
During the ceremony in Vanadzor, prime minister Sarkisian expressed
hope that the young graduates will use their knowledge for educating
and training the younger generation.
"From this point of view the role of the pedagogical university is
invaluable. That's why teachers are at the center of our constant
attention and a large enough portion of the budget allocations is
directed into this area," he said.
According to the prime minister, the 21-st century is a century of
intellectual competition, and knowledge is a necessity today.
"Developed nations are those which attach great importance to knowledge
and can produce knowledge. The teacher must not only pass knowledge
and educate the students, but also teach them to think independently,
make wise decisions," said the prime minister.
During the visit the prime minister also visited the primary health
care center if the village Shahumian, which needs renovation.
Sarkisian spoke to the staff promising to help in overcoming the
existing problems.
In Alaverdi Tigran Sarkisian met with the local activists of the
governing Republican Party and handed party membership cards to 30
new members.
"It's no secret that we are facing many challenges. You need to be
responsible and courageous in order to take on a high and important
mission - to become a member of the Republican Party and together
with us to solve our problems," Sarkisian said, congratulating the
new party members. He also took questions from the audience.
