YEREVAN, July 4. /ARKA/. Smooth transition from preschool to school
education should be ensured in Armenia without mere observance of
international standards, RA Deputy Minister of Science and Education
Bagrat Yesayan stated in Yerevan.
"Since only 20% of Armenian children attend kindergartens now, this
transition is often very difficult," he said.
In this context, Yesayan pointed out that 6-year-old children will
get accustomed to the school regime in the first form in playing
conditions, after which they will start learning the school syllabus.
"This mechanism of phased education will allow us to ensure a smooth
transition to the school syllabus for all children," he said.
According to Yesayan, the children that went to school before 2000
will learn ten years, and those that were admitted in 2001-2005 will
learn 11 years.
Children who will be six in 2006 will go to school in 2006. Children
born before June 30, 2000 will go to the first form to learn 11
years. Children born from July 1, 2000, will go to lower school
to learn 12 years, Yesayan said. Thus, two first forms will be in
Armenia's school in 2006.
