On May 17 the scholarship holders of the German Academic Exchange
Service DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) were awarded
educational certificates to take up a course of academic study
in Germany.
Armenian Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan said that
over the past few years Armenia has considerably increased its interest
in the DAAD scholarship programs. "Over the past 3 years Germany has
become an important partner for us in the sphere of education. Over
this period of time, a number of programs have successfully been
implemented, even at the interstate level", he said.
The minister also confessed that not every DAAD scholarship holder
can put into effect his/her opportunities after returning to Armenia.
German Ambassador to Armenia Hans Jochen Schmidt said that in Armenia
only 10 thsd AMD is added to the monthly salary for the PhD status,
and this amount cannot be a stimulus for the young specialists. He
also expressed hope that a governmental scholarship will be introduced
in Armenia in the near future.
To note, DAAD gave 89 scholarships to the Armenian scholars and
students for 2012-2013. The annual investments of German Academic
Exchange Service in educational programs total more than 800 thsd EUR.
