Nine member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
agreed to launch a joint virtual college following the 19th
ministerial conference in Yerevan.
At a news conference on Friday, the education ministers of Armenia,
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and
Moldova summed up the results of the meeting.
Armenia's Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan said the
conference helped the participants raise the existing problems and
agree over new projects.
`We agreed, in particular, to create a joint network college of CIS
states,' the minister said, promising that the project will promote
the professional development of the education sector.
Ashotyan said they had proposed a plan for opening a free rating
agency that would offer students an opportunity to rate the higher
educational institutions across the region.
`The free rating agency operating on the CIS territory will help
objectively evaluate the activities of all the higher educational
institutions in the member states, allowing entrants to decide which
university to apply,' he said, adding that a proposal had been made to
offer double-diplomas to graduates as a measure to promote the
inter-university program.
`Art education was discussed first. The educational program
Eurostudent, which aims to study the students' life with all its
socio-economic aspects (housing, education) was also in the ministers'
spotlight,' Ashotyan added.
Speaking further, Belarusian Minister of Education Sergey Maskevich
said the next session to be hosted by their country in 2014 will focus
on high schools. He expressed hope that the virtual college will have
been launched by then, enabling the member states to prepare highly
qualified human resources by using one another's potential.
Considering the Yerevan meeting successful, President of the National
Academy of Kazakhstan Alma Abilkasimova noted that the member states
can use their Soviet heritage to build a new system through
collaboration.
Tajikistan's Minister of Education Nuridin Saidov recommended his
country's universities to the Armenian youth.
`Anyone can select profession in Tajikistan. Our country is always
open, and we are ready to admit Armenian students,' he said.
At the end, the Tajikistani and Armenian education ministers signed a
joint agreement on extending bilateral cooperation.
