NEW LAW ON PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN ARMENIA TO BE ADOPTED LATE 2005
YEREVAN, MARCH 16. ARMINFO. A new Law "On pre-school education" in
Armenia, as well as its standard acts will be adopted by the end of
2005, Armenian Minister of Science and Education Sergo Yeritsyan
informed at today's press-conference.
He noted that in 2006-2008 compulsory study in country's infant school
will be started from the age of 5. Teacher of these institutions will
be retrained within that period, too. 100 pre-school institutions in
county's regions will be reconstructed and repaired this year. 682
state infant schools act today in Armenia of them 250 in Yerevan,
63220 children attend them regularly.
7% of children attend day nurseries, 2-5 years old children attending
kindergartens amount 25%. 11.811 employees are engaged in these
institutions. Their wages are not regulated by the state bodies as
they financed by communities, Minister noted. In his words, the
present legislation does not regulate also the activity of alternative
infant schools and the order of their licensing does not correspond to
the present-day standards. The new Law will elaborate provisions
allowing regulation of by-the-hour schedule of kindergartens'
attendance. -r-
