PRESIDENTIAL OVERSIGHT SERVICE REVEALS BREACHES IN STATE-RUN UNIVERSITIES
YEREVAN, APRIL 14, ARMENPRESS: Vahram Barseghian, the chief of a
presidential oversight service, told a news conference today that the
service revealed a chain of serious breaches in the higher education system
(state-run universities) after a series of studies.
He said one of the findings is that too many first-year students were
transferred to other universities after the first semester, overall 225
students, violating the proportion of specialties each of these universities
have to teach under a state order.
He said the impression is that there were additional examinations for
some specialties. He said in some instances students majoring in one
specialty were transferred to another state-run university to major in a
subject that was radically different from what they studied before. He said
a student majoring in veterinary was transferred to another university to
continue majoring in psychology. Some others to major in banking, history
and so on.
Barseghian said the impression is that some state run universities act as
donors for others. For instances, 24 students were transferred from Gavar
State University. He said the breaches show that there is an urgent need to
improve some mechanisms concerning the transfer of students from one
state-run university to another.
