    LEVON MKRTCHIAN: PASSING TO 12-YEAR EDUCATION IS ONE OF CONDITIONS OF
    INTEGRATION INTO GENERAL FIELD


    YEREVAN, JUNE 30, NOYAN TAPAN. The discussion held at the RA National
    Assembly on June 30 with participation of the RA Minister of Education
    and Science, directors of all schools of the country, representatives
    of interested departments and public organizations was dedicated to
    passing to the 12-year educational system.

    According to Minister of Education and Science Levon Mkrtchian, the
    goal of the discussion is again to present the society the next stage
    of reforms being implemented in the country, passing to the 12-year
    education. According to the Minister, the previous, Soviet educational
    system has exhausted itself long before, and naturally, in the 21st
    century, Armenia as well was to join a new educational system with
    many countries, in the given case, the Bologna processes. According to
    Minister Levon Mkrtchian, children's education starts from the
    pre-school age, and other stages are closely correlated. "So, every
    step of reforms adds another and prepares for the next stage," the
    Minister mentioned.

    He attached much importance to the issue that when implementing those
    passings, goals are made clear, and any change and passing have a
    correct goal and result. Passing to the 12-year education is one of
    conditions of integration to the general educational field, and if
    this passing is not implemented in 2008, final certificates and
    diplomas of schools and higher educational institutions of Armenia may
    not function in other educational territories.

    Upcoming re-trainings to be organized for teachers were touched upon
    during the discussions, which, according to the Minister and other
    specialists of that sphere, suppose meaningless and unproductive waste
    of time and money. "They will just get acquainted with the made
    amendments during those 20 days. As for a deep re-training, it will
    not be," the Minister emphasized. According to him, the Yerevan
    Khachatur Abovian Pedagogical University almost does not work today in
    that sense. This institution of higher education must change its
    traditional methods of preparing personnels and ways of teaching as
    well as must secure teachers' methodical re-training," Levon Mkrtchian
    mentioned.
