ARMENIAN STUDENT UNION TO START TUITION HIKE PROTESTS NEXT MONTH
14:39 30.08.13
The ARF-D Nikol Aghbalyan student association will launch Monday its
active campaign against the university tuition hikes.
As the organization's leader, Gerasim Vardanyan, told reporters on
Friday, their efforts are targeted at having the measure suspended.
"That [the decision] offers no solution, as a matter of fact. The
tuition fees increased gradually in the past three years. But what
problem was solved? None, actually," he said.
Mher Ghazaryan, another member of the association, said they are
simultaneously planning to address other educational problems,
particularly the government funding at state-run universities and
the problems of post-graduate education.
Ghazaryan noted that the campaign is not going to be limited to narrow
party interests.
"We may join other protesting group as was done during [the protests]
against the transport fare hike. We do not rule out any option. We
may also go on a teach-in. You will be informed of our tactical steps
in September," he said.
