Is Armenia satisfied with the Bologna process or not?
`We wanted it or not, but we had to follow the path of the Bologna
system,' said Laert Hovhannisyan, Vice Rector of the State Engineering
University of Armenia (SEUA), on the meeting with journalists.
According to him, the Bologna process is a necessity as the
today-world doesn't recognize the one-step system of education,
however, this process in Armenia is incomplete because of lack of
funds and time.
`Many states implement these changes for many years and invest huge
amounts of money. The elder generation has a poor understanding of
what is the Bologna process,' noted Mr Hovhannisyan.
He also noted that the negative aspect of this process was the lack of
students' opportunities to interrupt their education in Armenia for
going to study abroad and then come back and continue their studies at
home. `Our education system is concerned with the draft, the student
has to get an education within 4 years.'
Positive aspect of the process, according to Vice Rector, is the
constant analysis of educational strategy that increases the quality
of education.
`We find it difficult to answer whether we are satisfied with the
process or not,' said Mr. Hovhannisyan.
