YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. A program of elaboration of development
of abilities and strategy of education sphere has been implemented
in Armenia with the financial assistance of the USAID jointly with
the US Academy of Education Development.
As Noyan Tapan was informed by the Yerevan office of the Academy
of Education Development, at the program’s first stage, as a result
of technical and content assistance provided to the RA Ministry of
Education and Science, the draft state program of education development
for 2008-2015 has been worked in Armenia.
Besides, eight international experts of education sphere from different
countries took part in the Education 2015 conference, who discussed
the draft strategic vision of education development in Armenia and
made proposals of further elaboration of that document. A series of
consultation meetings with beneficiaries, as well as many private
interviews with representatives of not only education system, but
also other state and public structures closely connected with the
system preceded the conference.
According to the report, the draft state program of education
development has been revised according to the proposals submitted
by the government and has been returned to the government for final
approval.
Work of estimation of abilities and needs of the RA Ministry of
Education and Science was done at the second stage of the program of
Elaboration of Development of Education Sphere Abilities and Strategy,
from November 28 to December 18, 2007. As a result of the estimation,
proposals have been introduced for organizing Ministry’s work more
efficiently. Abilities necessary for conducting new policy envisaged
by the draft state program of education development for 2008-2015
were also estimated.
