After membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) no major changes
have been noticed in the Armenian educational system, and one of the
achievements is that all academic documents will be standardized.
Member of National Assembly Standing Committee on Education and
Science, ruling Republican faction MP RuzannaMuradyan told reporters
Thursday that professional qualifications, scientific programs
are expected in the sphere of education soon, and there will be
developments within that circle.
"Each country will accept the EEU country-issued academic diplomas,
only scientific titles will be exempt," Muradyan said.
Educational expert Anahit Bakshyan numerously addressed questions of
recognition saying that although Minister of Education and Science
ArmenAshotyan claimed that "we have a mutual recognition agreement
with Russia and there is also a legal document in CIS format as
well," however, Bashkhyan does not know the grounds of that mutual
recognition, thus is skeptical about it.
The media also actively discusses the fact of losing Armenian language;
there are many opinions that after membership in the EEU Russian
will be considered a first language at schools, which however, was
excluded by Muradyan.
"I think it is impossible, Armenian educational system provides its
national educational contents and like all other languages, Russian
is a foreign language," the MP said.
Muradyan also said that including references to the Armenian Genocide
in history textbooks in the EEU member countries, is being discussed.
"Those questions were frequently raised at meetings with our Russian
colleagues, who will be both by our side and reflecting later on in
their countries about the Genocide," she said.
