Arman Tatoyan, head of the “Wings of Unity” party, proposed to make public higher education free for citizens of Armenia, and introduce a flexible credit system for students of private universities.

The politician emphasized the importance of using the international experience, in particular, the American experience, where educational loans cover not only tuition fees, but also living expenses. According to Tatoyan, the main advantage of this model is that the repayment of the loan begins only after graduation and employment, which significantly eases the financial burden of parents.

He also added that such an approach will force universities to cooperate more actively with the labor market and the state, contributing to the employment of graduates and ensuring the demand for young professionals.
