Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met today with the
representatives of "Future is yours" NGO and of "Young People against
Corruption" program implemented by the latter.
The goal of the program is formation of intolerant attitude
against corruption and civil activeness among young people. Five-day
classes have been conducted for 300 young people of 6 Yerevan higher
educational establishments by the specialists of "Future is yours" NGO,
during which the participants of the program gained knowledge about the
phenomenon of corruption, its manifestations, causes and consequences,
about fighting against corruption and preventive measures. Discussions,
disputes and quizzes were organized during the classes.
During the meeting with the Prime Minister the participants of the
program had an opportunity to address the questions they are interested
in, to present the flaws in higher and post-graduate education, etc.
T. Sargsyan, speaking of the mentioned issues, noted that serious
changes will be made in near future in the system of higher and post
graduate education. There is a serious working team which is engaged
in it. "Higher educational establishments, both state and private,
must operate in an equal competitive field. The state's attitude
toward them must be the same," the Prime Minister said.
"We must intensify the licensing stage. Certain standards must
exist," T. Sargsyan added. But it is not enough. Higher educational
establishments must have the guarantee of the accreditation institute.
The Armenian Accreditation Institute will cooperate with relevant
structures of different countries throughout the world. Today, only
the American University of Armenia has an international accreditation
in the republic.
The Prime Minister noted that as a result of the reforms positive
shifts will be registered within 4 years.
