HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CALL FOR OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION

A group of human rights activists and citizens have addressed a letter
to the RA Minister of Education and Science raising their profound
concern over the situation at special school N11.

“The situation at school is still most concerning. In early July,
former Principal M. Yengibaryan requested the Administrative Court of
Yerevan to return him to the post. According to our sources there are
still teachers who exert violence against schoolchildren. But their
crime continues to be neglected by relevant bodies. We are deeply
concerned over the psychological atmosphere at school.”

To recover the situation, the authors suggest conducting an official
investigation over the cases of violence, testing professional
abilities of the teachers’ staff and making relevant changes.
