REORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION SECTOR

19 May 06
The first sphere that underwent a redistribution after the secession
of the Orinats Yerkir Party from the coalition was education. As
a result of arrangements "inside the coalition" the office of the
minister of education and science went to Dashnaktsutiun, the office
of the rector of Yerevan State University went to the Republican
Party, and the position of the president of the National Academy of
Sciences went to the third party of the coalition - the president. The
same process is underway in lower ranks of the sphere. Another large
educational institution, the State Engineering University of Yerevan,
may go to the Republican Party. Besides the redistribution of offices,
affiliation of educational workers with political parties has been
rather intensive recently. In this respect the Republican Party
is quite active, making teaching staffs of schools in Yerevan and
the regions to become members of this political party. The sphere
of education may have a significant role in the upcoming elections,
because it is the largest and is related to the entire society. This
might be the reason for the hasty actions of the coalition.
