    AAEF Gains Strong Political Support from RA for Vocation Education Projects

    3.1.2010: Yerevan, Armenia The Executive Board of the AAEF recently
    completed a highly productive trip to Armenia in which they met with
    and gained support from key political officials in the Republic of
    Armenia for their efforts in improving Vocational High School
    education in Armenia. Through their meetings with RA Minister of
    Diaspora Ms. Hranush Hakobyan, RA Minister of Education Mr. Armen
    Ashotyan, AAEF was able to not only earn the full support and high
    commendable remarks from both Ministers but also gained their
    participation in AAEF's programs. "I am very excited about the
    discussions we have had and with the partnerships we have created for
    our educational projects during the past couple weeks - 2010 is sure
    to be a great year for AAEF and the youth of Armenia."

    AAEF has successfully organized, funded and implemented vocational
    training programs in the fields of Public Food Preparation, Sewing &
    Textile Design, Cosmotology, Computer Programming, Carpentry and
    Glassmaking, with plans to implement Building Construction programs
    before the end of this year. These programs are currently available.

    AAEF has developed a reputation as participatory organization -
    actually taking part in all of its projects through training,
    construction or representation. To help structure this approach, AAEF
    has requested that the Mr. Ashotyan assist with appointing an AAEF
    member to the board of each College/VHS in which they have
    involvement. The Ministry has pledged full support and is currently
    reviewing candidates to prepare a list of nominees.

    In line with their goal of providing "High Quality - Labor Market
    Demanded vocational education for the youth of Armenia," the Executive
    Board developed the framework "Student and Teacher Evaluation System"
    which will assess, evaluate, recognize and reward best students and
    teachers annually. Ms. Hakobyan not only pledged her full support
    but also volunteered to serve on the Evaluation Committee.
