The following information was released by the Organization for
Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE):
Participants of a two-month police teacher-training course provided
with the OSCE support were awarded certificates today at a graduation
ceremony in Yerevan.
The course targeted teaching staff of the recently established Police
Educational Complex and aimed to improve the quality of education
and strengthen the capacity of those who evaluate the teaching process.
"Co-operation with the Armenian Police in the reform process has been
one of the priorities of the Office. This course is an example of
how the OSCE is providing practical support to promote international
standards in the police service," said Ambassador Andrey Sorokin,
Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
The training programme was designed by an OSCE expert from the United
Kingdom and was delivered from 9 April to 4 June. It included a series
of interlinked courses focusing on theory and contemporary approaches
in police education and training, in particular on principles and
application of evaluation, learning cycles, safe learning environment,
communication skills and effective feedback. The last part of the
training was devoted to the use of quality assurance in the effective
management of training.
Police General-Lieutenant Hovhannes Varyan, Head of the Educational
Complex, said: "We find these courses on European training methods
and approaches, which were organized for the faculty members of the
Armenian Police Educational Complex, very important since we are
confident that they will contribute to the further efficiency of the
training process."
The OSCE has been supporting the ongoing reform in police education
since 2010, when the Armenian Government adopted a new concept in
line with international best practice.
