Unwillingness of some Armenians to learn should be placed on the same footing as high treason, Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan said.
YEREVAN, August 28. /ARKA/. Unwillingness of some Armenians to learn should be placed on the same footing as high treason, Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan said.

“Not learning we reduce the potential of our nation and destruct our future. We should cultivate wish to learn starting from school, and the responsibility for this lies with teachers first of all,” the Premier said.

According to him, salaries paid to teachers by Armenian Government are high even compared with salaries paid in the National Academy of Sciences. Hence, the Ministry of Education should raise also the requirements to teachers in secondary schools and professors in higher schools, the Premier said.

Intellectual abilities are number one resource of Armenia, yet Armenian society underestimates importance of education and science, the Premier said. –0--
