YEREVAN. – We are informed that individuals and some organizations are offering paid services these days in connection with distance education. Arayik Harutyunyan, the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Armenia, said this during Sunday’s nationwide parent meeting on Facebook livestream.

The minister also said that staying home at this time was not a vacation for schoolchildren. “Keep in touch with the school, your teachers so that the lesson process takes place through a variety of distance management,” he added, in particular.

Harutyunyan noted that the current lessons on TV were liked not only by children but also by adults, which would contribute to raising education management.

According to the minister, it is also planned to shoot physical education lessons so that schoolchildren can relax and do physical exercises, rather than constantly sitting in front of screens.

In addition, Arayik Harutyunyan urged the schoolchildren to read a lot and the parents—to be very consistent while carrying out distance learning at this time.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
