The development of vocational education is a priority for the
government. 114 000 students study in higher educational establishments
today, 31 000 attend vocational education institutions.
The Head Vocational Education Department of the Ministry of Education
and Science Robert Abrahamyan says they are working to renovate the
buildings, supply the institutions with necessary equipment, improve
the skills of the heads and teachers and develop educational standards
of existing specializations.
The development of social partnership and attraction of investments is
also at the spotlight of the Ministry. The Ministry is implementing
the reforms in cooperation with partner organizations, one of which
is the British Council.
In cooperation with the British Council the Ministry of Education
and Science implemented the "Skill sin Work" program, the main
objective of which was to develop the link between business and
education. "This provides an opportunity to future specialists to get
knowledge and skills meeting the demands of the labor market," said
Arevik Saribekyan, the head of the British Council Office in Yerevan.
During the four years of program implementation cooperation has been
established between the Armenian and foreign vocational education
institutions. As a result, more than 50 lecturers of two Armenian
colleges have taken refresher courses in Great Britain.
