Today, the entire structure of education is under the hands of
the ruling regime said ARF-D candidate for the Yerevan municipal
election, Artak Aghbalyan, during a debate at Media center. ~SDuring
elections period, the educational structure changes into a political
one~T he argued and stated that one of ARF-D~Rs first goals will
be to depoliticize that. Aghbalyan also said that jurisdiction of
the schools for children with special needs should belong to the
ministry of education and not to the municipality. In reference to
kindergartens, the ARF-D member pointed out that they are overcrowded.
Aghbalyan said that ARF-D will increase the number of kindergartens
and provide better standards for children with special needs.
~SKindergartens are not recreational places. Children must receive
primary education there which is not the case today~T he added.
Aghbalyan thinks that the schools~R off-budgetary financing is a very
important issue. ~SCurrently, the budget of the schools is very small.
So in order to increase their finances, school administrations enroll
even more children~T said Aghbalyan.
