IN ARMENIA EDUCATION IS AHEAD OF ECONOMY BY DEVELOPMENT RATES
YEREVAN, August 20 (Noyan Tapan). In Armenia education by its
development rates is ahead of economy, and for this reason
unemployment in the country makes 9%. Hranush Hakobian, Chairwoman of
the RA NA Standing Commission on Education, Science, Culture and Youth
Issues, told about it at the August 20 meeting with 51 Diasporan
teachers participating in the training courses in Yerevan.
According to her, this situation can only be regulated if the
development of the economy reaches a level at which it is possible to
provide all the higher schools graduates with jobs. At the same time,
H. Hakobian noted that there is a problem of supply and demand in
Armenia's labor market.
However, according to her, higher schools have not been restructured
so that they train specialists needed for the labor market. H. Hakobian
reported that today 1,482 comprehensive schools function in the
republic, and about 80,000 students study at 6 state-owned and 81
private higher schools.
