    Since September 2006 Armenian schools will adopt 12-year secondary
    education. The transition will be finally over in 2009, and in 2009
    a three-grade secondary education will be declared. On May 11 the
    government of Armenia approved provisions in the law on education on
    transition to a 12-year school education. Under these provisions,
    children will go to school at the age of six instead of the former
    6.5. But in September 2006 both 6 and 6.5-year-old children will be
    admitted. There will be two first grades, says Deputy Minister of
    Education Norayr Ghukasyan. The six-year-old children will study for
    12 years and the 6.5 year-old-children will study for 11 years. Since
    2007 children will go to school at the age of 6. This transition
    implies change of textbooks and syllabuses. The teaching staffs will
    be retrained. Elementary school will include 1-4 grades instead of
    the former 1-3, 5-9 grades will be considered middle school, 10-12
    grades will be senior school.
