DEVELOPMENT OF IT SPHERE DEPENDS ON OUR EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM
Armenia's big capacity in IT sphere may decrease
instead of increasing year after year, if the state
and the private sector doesn't allocate enough sources
for its development. Garegin Chukaszian, head of the
IT Fund, mentioned that in the course of the press
conferences only one of 15-20 journalists works with a
laptop, while the rest are deprived of that
opportunity. "We need serious changes in our
educational sphere and without passing to a mass
computer system one can forget about the development
of this sphere," he said.
Hovhannes Mousaelian, head of Synopsis Armenia,
Garegin Chukaszian, head of IT Fund, and Karen
Vardanian, head of Union of IT Companies, touched upon
the current issues and the prospects for the
development of the sphere in the course of the press
conference in "Armenpress" hall.
The press conference was initiated on the occasion of
the IT month organized by RA PM Andranik Margarian.
Mr. Mousaelian stated that the educational sphere is
the most important one for achieving obvious success
in the IT sphere. He brought the example of the
educational model of "Synopsis," thanks to which the
company has 220 university students that will continue
their further education in Moscow.
Karen Vardanian emphasized the importance of
increasing the awareness of our society about the
information security. He said this may be achieved by
only educational programs.
It is envisaged that in the course of the IT month
there will be held open competition for programmers.
Besides, on September 26 RA President Robert Kocharian
will give awards to the best students of the sphere.
The specialists stated that three international
congresses to be held in October will also be of great
importance. The first one will be entitled
"Opportunities for IT Development in Developing Land
Countries" (October 3-6), "The Human Rights in the
Information society, Assistance to Children and Youth
" (October 5-6) and Internet world congress dedicated
to cultural diversity (October 6-7).
Besides, a specialized IT exhibition will be held,
where various companies will represent their
telecommunication and IT technologies. The month will
be completed by two competitions on October 8.
