`YOUTH INDIFFERENT TO THEIR EDUCATION’
Today `Youth and Skills. Specialized education and
training’ (SET) seminar took place. The seminar is
organized by the Ministry of Education, European
educational foundation by the support of `Global
Developments’. According to Aram Avagyan, the
president of `Global Developments’ foundation, the
mission of the seminar is to inform the interested
side about the perspectives of specialized education
and its present and future developments, as well as
the SET objectives in Europe and Armenia.
A. Avagyan said that three international experts are
invited to share their European experience with the
participants of the seminar. `Today the level of
education in Armenia does not correspond to the
demands of the labor market. Hence, our problem is to
find ways to match the level of education with the
level of the labor market,’ said A. Avagyan.
Levon Lazarian, the Minister of Education said that
the mission of the seminar is to link education and
the labor market, and their demands. The minister
notified that the youth is indifferent to their
education and the value of that. `This problem should
be solved,’ he said.
