Quizzes and exams have their "fixed prices" in Higher Educational
Establishments (HEE) of Armenia. For example, the price of a quiz in
elitist HEE is 100 – 200$, the price of exams is logically higher.
The prices of non- elitist establishments are comparatively lower
and milder; the quiz is about 20$ and the exam is 30 – 100$.
These data were revealed after the polling initiating by "Sargis –
Tkhrouni" Youth – Students’ Union in various establishments. Over
2000 students were asked the same question; "Is there any corruption
in educational establishments?"
1821 students gave positive answer to this question.
By the way, the classification of HEE into "elitist" and "non- elitist"
ones was done by the students.
Judging by their answers, we can qualify these establishments as
"elitist" ones; Medical University after Mkhitar Heratsi, Yerevan
State Economy University and Yerevan State Linguistic University
after Brusov.
Yerevan State Agricultural University and Yerevan State Pedagogical
University are among the "non- elitist" establishments.
To note, nearly all the students offered the same methods of corruption
combat and its further elimination. 93% of those surveyed suggested
increasing lecturers’ salaries, 87% claim that interior discipline
must be strengthened inside the establishments.
