YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Karen Trchunyan presented the plans and programs in the area of higher education.

He said they want graduates to be able to work by their profession. “To achieve this we must develop standards in the higher education area through licensing and accreditation tools,” Trchunyan said.

He added that the ministry plans to develop a new system of funding for specializations in universities.

He said the funding mechanisms will vary for each university.

“We have a target: to have at least four universities in the list of the [world’s] best 500 universities. I believe we can achieve this if we ensure all conditions for high-quality education,” Trchunyan said.

Another target will be encouraging the growth of foreign students in Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “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
