YEREVAN, November 22. /ARKA/. Increase of quality of middle-special
and hackwork education is one of priorities of the Armenian
Ministry of Education, said Head of Department of Primary and
Middle-Special Education of the ministry Robert Abramyan on Monday
in the press-conference.
"During Soviet times we had rather developed system of middle-special
education but after its breakdown this system was completely taken off
the state trusteeship. Starting from 2004-2005 reforms are implemented
in this system", he said.
Rehabilitation of this sphere is taking place due to financial support
of international structures.
"European Commission is supporting us since 2007 which allocated in
total 810 million drams ($2.2 million) till 2009 for construction
works. In 2010 this assistance made 1 billion 600 million drams
($44.3 million)", said Abramyan.
Training of pedagogical staff is performed.
"One of the main problems is the low salary of teachers of
middle-special institutions. Currently, we negotiate with the Armenian
Ministry of Finance and possibly we could manage to increase the
salary by 10-15%", he said.
"We should have qualified specialists having demand in the labor
market", said Abramyan.
At present there are 83 state middle-special institutions, 29 hackwork
colleges where in total 37 thousand students are studying.
