Bologna Declaration next May. He said the ministry had sent a report
on Armenian education activity, which was approved. Beofre Armenia's

from around 30 of European countries in Bologna, Italy, to establish
a single area of higher education by 2010.
The Bologna Declaration of 19 June 1999 involves six actions
relating to a system of academic grades which are easy to read and
compare, including the introduction of the diploma supplement,
designed to improve international "transparency" and facilitate
academic and professional recognition of qualifications; a system
essentially based on two cycles : a first cycle geared to the
employment market and lasting at least three years and a second cycle
(Master) conditional upon the completion of the first cycle; a system
of accumulation and transfer of credits; mobility of students,
teachers and researchers; cooperation with regard to quality
assurance; the European dimension of higher education.
Yeritsian said Armenia is able to meet these requirements. He said
a timetable of actions was planned which will become more specified
after joining the Declaration.
