    An international workshop aiming to help further reform in Armenia's
    education system has attracted more than 80 officials and
    international experts from Norway, Serbia, Latvia and Georgia.

    Participants in the three-day workshop, organized jointly by the OSCE
    Office in Yerevan, the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation,
    the British Council and UNICEF, are sharing experiences and best
    practices in the field of education policy and management, as well as
    education fostering democratic citizenship.

    "We appreciate the co-operation with international organizations as
    their experience helps us reform the education system in a democratic
    manner, which is a strategic goal for the Republic of Armenia" said
    Education and Science Minister Sergo Eritsyan.

    Jeannette Kloetzer, OSCE Economic and Environmental Officer in
    Yerevan, said the OSCE considers environmental education, particularly
    of children and youth, crucial.

    `Environmental issues should be an integral part of education for
    democratic citizenship as fully informed and empowered citizens
    benefit democracy, stability and security,' she said.

    She urged participants in the workshop, which ends today, to take
    advantage of the National Environmental Information Centres (Aarhus
    Centres) established in Yerevan and the Armenian provinces of Syunik,
    Tavush and Lori. The centres give the public access to environmental
    information.
