    REOPENING OF FOREIGN-LANGUAGE SCHOOLS IS DIVERSION ON ARMENIAN LANGUAGE, SAY CIVIL ACTIVISTS

    Tert.am
    13.05.10

    On May 12 members of We are Against the Reopening of Foreign-Language
    Schools public initiative convened their first meeting and discussed a
    recent initiative by the Ministry of Education and Science of Armenia
    over reopening foreign-language schools.

    They also released a statement which says that the Ministry's move
    is a diversion on the Armenian language and the independent state.

    "Should the bill proposed by the Ministry be adopted, Armenian will
    become a language of everyday use, while the Armenian language must
    be used in all aspects of life for its overall development," reads
    the statement.

    Further it says that Minister Armen Ashotyan's assertion that the
    would-be foreign-language schools will provide a high-quality education
    is just a racist approach towards the Armenian mindset.

    "The language that has a literary history lasting for millenniums is
    capable to meet all the requirements of modern educational system. The
    quality of education depends not upon the language of teaching but
    rather on the programs, the principles of teaching, the qualification
    of the specialists and the organizational order."

    The initiative that has already one thousand members was created just
    a fortnight ago on the famous social network Facebook and is available
