YEREVAN. – Educational system of Armenia sinks in corruption, linguist
David Gyurjinyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“If they show biased approach in selection of textbooks, I should
expect they will appoint a headmaster in the very same manner. Our
educational system sinks in corruption, that’s why we do not produce
good results. We have plenty of problems and, frankly speaking, the
prospect of their solution is pretty vague to me,” said the linguist.

Gyurjinyan argues that Prime Minister’s statements that our country
should form a knowledge- based society are nothing but fairy tales. He
mentioned that he has sent an open letter to the PM concerning textbook
competitions but it was left unanswered.
