YEREVAN, August 17. /ARKA/. In autumn 2006, an experimental program on
state single exam will be held in Yerevan, Vanya Barseghyan, director
of Estimation and Test Center adjunct to the RA Ministry of Science
and Education told journalists after his meeting with directors of
secondary schools of Armenia.
He said that the program would be implemented in several communities
of Yerevan and one region, information about which would be provided
later.
"All projects of preparation work have been already worked out and
soon the process will begin ", he said.
Barseghyan finds that a state single examination is quite expedient,
since future entrants will be able to pass only one exam in their
chosen subject and not two, as it was before (at school and at
university - ARKA). He emphasized that all principles of the single
exam had been worked out and they are assumed to be under accurate
control.
Barseghyan informed that applications for participation in the single
exam would be received at schools and later on handed in to the Center
and the exam itself would be conducted by regional examination centers.
In November-December 2005, an experimental state single exam was
held in Shirak region of Armenia. Exams were in Armenian language
and Literature, Foreign Language, Mathematics and History of Armenia.
4481 pupils of higher classes from all 153 secondary schools of Shirak
region took part in the experiment.
