YEREVAN, April 26, /ARKA/. President Serzh Sargsyan received today
members of the Governing Council of the National Academy of Sciences
and Heads of scientific and research institutes of the Academy,
his press office reported.
It said President Sargsyan Serzh Sargsyan highlighted three main
avenues for developing education and science in our country. "The first
avenue we should take is to reorganize the existing educational and
scientific institutions and use them more efficiently, i.e. to carry
on with the process of reformation. The second avenue is the creation
of a new generation of the educational and scientific institutions,
like the one created in Tavush - a modern boarding school, where
teaching is conducted in foreign languages, with the application of
the newest teaching methodologies.
The third avenue is to provide our students and young scientists
with the opportunity to study in the best educational and scientific
establishments abroad," he was quoted as saying.
President Sargsyan informed that the funds of the Luys Foundation,
which provides financial support for the Armenian students' to study
at the world's best establishments, would be doubled so that a greater
number of the Armenian students could study abroad. Serzh Sargsyan
stressed also the necessity of creating opportunities for the young
scientists to get training abroad, noting that corresponding steps
would be taken on that direction as well.
"I know that there is a problem of housing for the young scientists,
and to solve the problem we are ready to make serious investments.
However, support will be provided only to those young scientists,
who are going to seriously work in science, but not to those who
after receiving master's degree spend couple of months in a scientific
institution and then leave to do something else," President Sargsyan
said.
