State Engineering University of Armenia, where 50 students specialise
in IT area and take a two-year training program. Avoyan noted that
the students are provided with good specialists, computers and
internet. According to him, there are three main problems when
training the specialists in IT area: first, the lack of good
specialists in this area; second, the need of changes of education
programs and teaching new subjects; third, the lack of modern
computers and Internet. He noted that the education centers created
in two Armenian institutes are to solve the above mentioned problems.

programming, and the Armenian Universities do not answer the demand
either by quantitative or qualitative indicators. He added that 4-5
Armeian companies are looking for highly qualified specialists in
programming. At that, Avoyan doesn't think that there is a brain
drain of specialist from Armenia, noting that Lycos-Armenia lost only
1-2 specialists for 4-5 years. He emphasized that 60 specialists work
in the company today, and their number to be brought to 100 till the
end of the year. Avoyan added that programming area ensures the
highest salaries in Armenia, beginning from $500.A.H. - 0 -
