MINISTER: UNDERESTIMATION OF VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE IS BIGGEST PROBLEM IN ARMENIA’S EDUCATION AREA
YEREVAN, October 2. /ARKA/. Underestimation of value of knowledge is
the biggest problem in Armenia’s education area, Armenian Education
and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan told journalists on Wednesday in
Yerevan after the opening of an international conference focused on
modernization of education.
“The main problem is not to find funds for the education system or
technical equipment for education establishments, but to enhance the
public’s acknowledgement of the value of education and understanding
of its importance as instrument of our youth’s self-fulfillment,”
he said adding that this is a mentality problem. Other problems,
he said, can be solved by reforming the education system.
Professors from Russia, the United States, Italy and Japan are taking
part in this two-day conference organized as part of Bologna Process.
In June 2012, Armenia assumed the commitment of composing the
secretariat of the Bologna process for 2012-2015. In fact, Yerevan
has become the capital of European higher education. .—0—
