Armenian virtual university is one of the leading institutions
providing high-level online education. It offers armenological studies
through modern technologies. According to the Founder and President of
the university, Yervand Zoryan, during the 5 years of its activities
the university had over 3500 students from 73 countries.
Mr. Zoryan mentioned that currently the majority of students (21%) are
from the U.S.A. "The University provides opportunity to choose whether
to learn the Armenian language in Western or in Eastern. Initially the
percentage of students preferring the education of Western Armenian
was higher, however later the number of those interested in Eastern
Armenian increased thus bringing the share of students almost to
50-50%".
This virtual university opens wide perspectives for all those who
are interested in relevant education irrespective of age, place of
residence or the level of knowledge. The university's mission is to
establish a virtual society, which will unite the Armenians worldwide.
Touching upon the issue of the language by which the Syrian-Armenians
undergo their studies not in virtual but in real educational
institutions and whether they face any problems related to the
language, the President of "Commission Coordinating Syrian-Armenians'
Issues" NGO, Lena Halajyan mentioned that the language problems and
barriers are mainly erased. "I am glad to mention that the school
children are getting adapted to the Eastern Armenian and overcome
problems during their study quite easily. The only major problem for
them still remains the scientific vocabulary; however the solution
to this issue is just a matter of time."
