Minister proposes tuition discounts for Syrian-Armenians
13:08 * 28.08.14
The minister of education has asked the heads of Armenia's leading
universities to consider the possibility of tuition discounts for the
Armenian students from Syria.
At a working meeting with the rectors, Armen Ashotyan proposed that
the tuition for Syrian-Armenians be the same as for the students who
are citizens of Armenia, the Ministry of Education and Science reports
in a press release.
Upon the Government's proposal and the prime minister's instruction,
the Ministry is now considering a social assistance project for
students from the border communities which came under heavy shelling
this summer.
The Ministry is also considering 30% tuition discounts for first-year
students from border regions. The measure envisages maintaining the
discounted fee during further studies in case of a good academic
performance.
Noting that the executive's 2014 program envisages assistance for up
to 1,500 socially disadvantaged students, the minister asked the
rectors to submit lists of potential beneficiaries (including their
GPA records) until September 17.
