50% of Armenian students don't think that payment for a mark at exam
is display of corruption, Armenian Education and Science Minister
Armen Ashotyan said referring to several public opinion polls.
"Until students themselves are interested in this machinery, we cannot
change much", - Ashotyan said when delivering a speech at the seminar
on the Bologna principles and added that just changing of mentality is
the key guarantor for effective fighting bribery. "At the same time,
we do not waive responsibility from us either", - Ashotyan said.
A parliamentarian from the "Heritage" party Anahit Bakhshyan has
shared the minister's viewpoint. "If a student gives money for a mark
and at the same time does not understand it is a bribe, it means that
our mentality should be changed", she said to Arminfo correspondent.
She also added that the authorities do not make steps for full
eradication of corruption, as the authorities as well as the society
settle their problems by means of buy/sell option. Until votes are
bought in our country during the elections, we cannot speak about
eradication of corruption in other spheres, Bakshyan emphasized.
