NOYEMBERIAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The 8-form school of the village of
Ditavan, Tavush region, has 50 pupils, but the one-storeyed school
building is too small and since 1990, 3 wagon-houses also have been
serving as classrooms.
One wagon-house is used as a canteen. As form master of primary school
Nunik Ghazarian said in her talk with Noyan Tapan correspondent,
these wagon-houses are dark and the pupils of the primary school
complain that they do not see the letters well. It is very hot in the
wagon-houses in winter and they have to air the classroom 10 times
during a lesson. Due to lack of a gymnasium the lessons of physical
culture are held in the school corridor in winter.
According to school headmaster Armen Hakhverdian, they have repeatedly
promised to build a new building for the school in the past years,
even a territory near the school was allotted for this purpose but
the construction has not started.
