Soon the lecturers of Artsakh State University will be rated,
announced rector Hamlet Grigorian in the meeting of the board on
January 31. According to him special questionnaires were prepared
referring to the fields of activity of the professors. Through
these questionnaires every year it will be decided how many points
the lecturer gathered in the given academic year, what his or
her rating is. â~@~At the same time it is the evaluation of the
educational activity of the lecturer and his or her competence for
the work at the university. Thereby we shall be able to commend or
criticize the person irrespective of their scientific degree,â~@~]
said Hamlet Grigorian. According to the rector of Artsakh State
University, a scientific degree, important though it may be, is not
a criterion of evaluating their colleagues. From now on the rating
of lecturers will be given primary importance. One of the mentioned
questionnaires is for the survey of the studentsâ~@~Y opinion using
the ten-point system. Last year a survey was conducted among students
entitled â~@~Lecturers in the Eyes of the Studentâ~@~] . The present
survey will continue the previous one. Every questionnaire consists
of 6-7 questions. H. Grigorian said, the questionnaire will take
into account how many scientific articles the lecturer published,
how many times he participated in international conferences, as well
as what scientific works he organized for students. This means that
the leadership of the university directs all their efforts towards
improving the quality of education in the university. SCHOLARSHIPS
WILL INCREASE In Artsakh State University the scholarship of students
is 10 thousand drams monthly. According to rector Hamlet Grigorian,
it is not good to grant equal size of scholarship to the students
with different grades. â~@~As the government has not done anything
in this matter, we aim to provide means from our own resources to
increase the scholarship of excellent students. At the same time,
the presidential scholarship will also be increased and it will be the
highest,â~@~] said Hamlet Grigorian. SOCIAL STATE OF THE STAFF Special
attention is also paid to the improvement of the social conditions of
the staff. Since February it is planned to increase the salaries of
lecturers. â~@~Unfortunately, no means were provided from the state
budget to increase salaries of the university staff. In fact, the
salary of lecturers is smaller than the salary of school teachers. We
have to raise the salaries on our inner resources,â~@~] said Hamlet
Grigorian. The rector informed that it is planned to organize a meeting
with the NKR president to discuss the problems of the university.
