COMPUTERS TO SCHOOLS OF ARTSAKH
Shen NGO has a great contribution to the schools of Artsakh, namely
it provides schools with computers. Karen Aramian, the representative
of Shen to NKR, says about 250 computers were distributed to the
schools of the republic. The aim of the project Computers to NKR
Schools was the use of computers in teaching. A group of programmers
in Armenia is now designing school programs for Armenian schools,
funded by an international foundation supporting modern teaching
methods at schools. The programmers promised to provide the disks to
Shen, which will publish the programs. Besides, this summer some
teachers of chemistry and biology were trained to use these programs
in teaching. There are also programs for informatics and ecology.
This is a useful method, however, the schools already encounter
problems, for computers in some schools are too old, and teachers are
not competent. Karen Aramian is hopeful that the programs will be
provided to all the schools within this academic year. He also said
it will be necessary to replace the old computers with new ones.
However, Karen Aramian says, computers and software is not enough to
solve the problem of schools. The image of teacher is very important.
If the teacher is discontent with his salary, his life, his work
cannot be effective.
