The process of full establishment of cultural education system in
Armenia is in the focus of attention of the RA Ministry of Culture. As
Minister Hasmik Poghosian mentioned at the January 12 press conference,
large-scale work was done in this direction in 2008. In particular,
2062 students of country's 139 communal music and art schools' folk
instruments departments were financed within the framework of the
program under the title Teaching of National Instruments in RA Art
and Music Schools. From 2009 this program will also involve children
studying at wind and stringed instruments departments.
The Minister said that an Assistance to Cultural Education Foundation
with 10 regional representations was created last year for the purpose
of promoting aesthetical education. Foundation's mission is to provide
teaching-methodical and practical assistance to country's music and
art schools. H. Poghosian also said that with Ministry's financing
54 children had a possibility to take part in various international
festivals and competitions.
According to H. Poghosian, 32 titles of music books were published
last year, including methodical manuals written for modern Armenian
composers' various instruments, textbooks, and scientific works,
part of which was free of charge distributed among the basic schools.
Republican and international competitions, festivals, and other
events were held to develop music art. The Prospects of 21st, the
National Gallery, Arno Babajanian festivals, Aram Khachatrian 4th
International Contest, and others are among them.
