    With the assignment of the Armenia's president, the government will
    allocate means for paying the tuition fees of 1,000 needy students,
    Gevorg Melkonyan, head of the Union of Young Students NGO, told the
    reporters on Saturday.

    `It will be a big impetus for the needy young families to get higher
    education,' he said, saying the conditions to participate in the
    competition are three - the student must study excellently, be active
    and his/her family must be registered in Paros Foundation.

    `One of the chief problems of students is the tuition fee. Not all the
    families manage to pay the tuition fee and it appears that the
    children of rich families manage to get higher education while the
    children from insecure families do not,' Melkonyan said.

    He said the issue of students' hostels is also a significant social
    issue. Many are in bad condition, and many universities do not have at
    all.

    The speaker said the students also face issue of finding jobs after graduation.
