    NOT THE MOST CORRUPTED, BUT EVIDENCING SUCH CASES

    Aysor, Armenia
    Aug 26 2009

    "We are not the most corrupted but there are such cases. That's why
    the Higher Education Institutions since 2006 have been practicing
    written examinations, and this year we are having automated test
    exams without participation of lecturers, hence hoping to exclude
    the corruption phenomenon",- Yuri Suvaryan, the rector of the Yerevan
    State Economic University, declared about this at the press conference.

    He informed that the system of automated knowledge test check was
    practiced last year. As to Yuri Suvaryan, the number of students
    increase year after year, in 2006 there were 1600 applicants,
    in 2007-1800, in 2008-2000 and in 2009-2390 applicants. This year
    entered 475 students more than expected.

    In Yerevan State Economic University three new professions and a
    number of specializations were introduced: anti-crisis management,
    duty and tax budget rights, economic journalism and etc.

    Yuri Suvaryan informed that the credit system is practiced for
    bachelors' degree, and for the system to be effective, each year
    course guides are distributed to students, where the principles of
    the credit system learning are described.

    On answering the questions of Aysor.am, Yuri Suvaryan said that
    there was no fee increase during the past 4 years and no increase
    is expected in future, as there is the economic crisis and people
    live under such conditions. "Though the education becomes expensive,
    we will not have any fee increase, it will be immoral", he said.

    The rector mentioned that they are in the midst concerning the fees,
    as there are other institutions having higher fees: Yerevan State
    University, Slavonic University, French University and etc.

    Yuri Suvaryan thinks that both state and private universities are
    rivals for the Economic University. "We also compete with western
    higher education institutions, as some young people want to study
    abroad and on coming back they occupy the labor market. And our
    student must compete with them".

    According to the data provided by the RA Ministry of Education and
    Science, there are 17 government and 25 non-government higher education
    institutions. The fees are between 250 -800 thousand drams annually,
    and the average fee in the Economic University is 400thousand drams.
