KAJARAN, NOVEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: Research laboratories for nature
protection opened today at N1 and N2 schools of Kajaran. These are the
first such laboratories not only in Armenia, but also in the region.
The initiative was taken by the Municipality of Kajaran in partnership
with 'Ayb' Educational Foundation, the OSCE Office in Yerevan and
several ecological NGO's.
The laboratories are supplied with up-to-date equipments and
materials, which will give the schoolchildren an opportunity to study
the pollution level of soil, air and water, as well as carry out a
variety of experiments.
A subject on 'Kajaran: Nature and Ecology' has been taught in the
schools of Kajaran for the second year and the new laboratories are
expected to make the study of the subject more comprehensive. The
devices give an opportunity to carry out experiments not only in the
laboratory, but also in an open-air field.
Manuk Lazarian, RA deputy education and science minister, was present
at today's open lesson at N1 School. He said it is possible that
the Education and Science Ministry will allow specialists of other
schools to organize excursions to Kajaran to get acquainted with the
operation of the laboratories.
Hamlet Matevosyan, director of the Academy of Emergency Situations
assured that collaboration will be established between the two schools
and the academy.
The Municipality of Kajaran invested 20 million AMD for the
implementation of the project, and the 'Ayb' Educational Foundation
implemented the process of full design and author control the
laboratories.
Mayor of Kajaran Vardan Gevorgyan awarded certificates to all
those, who supported the establishment of the laboratories. The
'Ayb' Educational Foundation donated to the schools a collection of
ecological films.
