Reforms and recent improvements in higher education as well as measures
to fight corruption, to encourage students' participation and ensure
quality education are among the topics of an OSCE-supported event
that started today in Yerevan.
The two-day seminar/discussion, organized by the OSCE Office in
Yerevan in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Science,
gathered representatives from university administrations, student
bodies, state and public organizations.
"There is a strong link between education and security since education
is the basis for realizing a person's right to be an informed and
active citizen. Higher education institutions are the wellsprings
of innovative leaders and ideas for both today and tomorrow," said
William Hanlon, Deputy Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan. "As the
OSCE seeks to bolster youth participation, today's goal is to promote
a system of higher education that is more inclusive, more accountable
and more responsive."
Angele Attard Chetcuti, an international expert from the University
of Malta invited by the OSCE Office, moderated the discussion.
"The timing of this conference is particularly significant in view of
the fact that Armenia currently holds the Secretariat of the Bologna
Follow-Up Group under the Bologna Process, thereby signifying support
to a national synergy towards the development of higher education in
Armenia and in Europe," she said.
It is expected that the participants will come up with concrete
proposals for further actions to tackle the raised issues.
