PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian ombudsman Karen Andreasyan assessed the
problems and developments in 2011 activities of Armenian Ministry of
Education and Science.
As the ombudsman's administration told PanARMENIAN.Net the annual
report was compiled basing on the complaints filed to human rights
defender's office, analysis of the legislation, trustworthy media
publications and information obtained from other sources.
Andreasyan highlighted the following problems: the ministry did not
take timely actions to specify the legal basis for organizing and
conducting tenders for secondary school textbooks, neither did the
published textbooks undergo the required expertise. All this resulted
in a number of editorial, spelling and publication errors in textbooks
which violated the students' right for proper education.
Despite annual allocation of resources from state budget for
educational institutions' heating systems, many schools still face
the problem of heating during winter. Rural schools were not provided
with catering services.
The ombudsman named the increased number of inclusive schools
which rose by 15 and totaled 81 throughout the country, as positive
development.
The government decided to pilot universal inclusive education project
in Tavush province targeting children with special educational needs.
In academic year 2011-2012, chess has been introduced into school
curriculum for 2nd grade students.
