whether children will go to school for 5 day or 6 days a week. The
directors of 22 schools confessed in a consultation with the mayor
of Yerevan that they are not ready to replace 6-day week by 5-day week.
The latter believe that with the present load of the curriculum and
standards 6-day education will continue at schools. The first deputy
mayor of Yerevan Kamo Areyan announced about this common approach
of teachers.
Kamo Areyan said the Motor Vehicle Inspectorate has already been
instructed to guarantee security in the first ten days of September,
besides the City Hall is worried about electricity supply and the
Electricity Networks also received instructions. Yerevan Water Company
received instructions on the water supply of schools. The City Hall
also instructed the Health Department of the City Hall of Yerevan to
control medical stations at schools.
In the beginning of the academic year in 2006 the number of first-grade
pupils in Yerevan is 9081 but the statistics will be more precise on
