PanARMENIAN.Net - General Manager of VivaCell-MTS mobile operator
Ralph Yirikian and Armenian Minister of Education and Science Armen
Ashotyan gave a joint press conference Dec 25, with Deputy Minister
Karine Harutyunyan and head of the company's department of development
programs and monitoring Robert Stepanyan present.
The initial measures taken to create ranking lists of Armenian schools
and universities were in the focus of the discussion.
The ranking lists of Armenia's educational institutions are presently
based on public opinion, which cannot be fully void of subjectivity.
This way of ranking will henceforth be replaced with an approved
professional method. The reform is in line with the Law on General
Education System and the efforts to integrate into Bologna process.
Localization of the best international practice was noted as the most
effective way to develop an efficient national model of ranking. The
tools developed this year will be introduced in 2013 as a pilot
program, with the method to be finalized only upon the completion of
the testing.
"VivaCell-MTS supports educational initiatives with a special
commitment and aims to make the scientific potential of the country
serve to the best of the nation," Mr. Yirikian said.
Armenia's national system of university ranking (the methodology,
indices, and the mechanisms of calculation) was presented by Karine
Harutyunyan, with Robert Stepanyan presenting the ranking system of the
general educational institutions, VivaCell-MTS press service reported.
