YEREVAN, June 14. /ARKA/. Educational reforms in senior classes at
Armenian schools will be completed by 2014-2015. Armenian Minister of
Education and Science Levon Lazarian reported that the final round of
the program on reforming the education system in the country requires
a serious reconsideration.
According to him, the process of reforming, providing for 12-year
education, should be carried out step-by-step.
"The current education system does not imply any principles and
concepts that could prepare students for entering a university
without reducing the quality of education," he said and added that
the reforms should not affect the quality of knowledge of students
and their further life In this context, the minister pointed out the
necessity in including some courses, taught during the first year at
universities, in the school curriculum for senior classes.
"Students of senior classes should have an opportunity to independently
choose courses and teachers," he said.
Lazarian reported that this process is rather long. "At least a
decade is required to complete the work on the education system and
its criteria, and also those elements that will be introduced to the
high school little by little.
