16 Ones of 40 Russian-Oriented Classes of Armenia to Operate in Yerevan
YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS: This year Russian-oriented classes
will operate in 40 schools of Armenia; 16 ones of the classes will
operate in Yerevan, and the rest of them - in the provinces.
Lilia Balasanyan, chief specialist of RA education and science
ministry's public education department, told Armenpress that the
number of Russian-oriented classes in Yerevan and provinces is small.
Especially in the provinces of Syuniq and Vayots Dzor there are no
Russian-oriented classes. The number of schoolchildren, involved in
Russian-oriented classes, is not clear yet, but preliminary
calculations show that the number does not exceed 10 thousand.
According to RA Procedure on Admission of Pupils for Special Public
and Public Educational Establishments, only those children, who are
Russian by nationality or representatives of the Russian community to
Armenia, who studied in Russia for minimum 6 years, one of whose
parents have Russian citizenship, have the opportunity to be involved
in Russian-oriented classes.
`If a pupil studied in Russia for less than 6 years, he/she studies in
Armenia at a Russian-oriented class for the first year, and the next
year studies at an Armenian-oriented class. In that case it becomes
easier for a child to adopt himself/herself,' Lilia Balasanyan added.
She mentioned that the number of Russian-oriented classes in the
Republic has reduced in the recent years.
