YEREVAN, January 22. /ARKA/. “$4.8 million will be allocated for obtaining special textbooks for Armenian high schools”, said Armen Ashotyan, Armenian Minister of Education.

Money will be allocated by Circular Fund of textbooks and another $1.9 million - from state budget for obtaining textbooks for elementary classes. “We plan to finalize the competition of textbooks for high schools and elementary classes till February.

This year we changed a bit the order of competition and included representatives of Armenian National Academy of Sciences in subject commissions”, said Ashotyan. The Ministry will pay special attention to the quality of textbooks.

“If one textbook will be presented in the competition and it will not be of high quality, it will not win. It’s better the children have no textbooks than bad ones”, he said. Special textbooks for high school will be prepared in Armenia for the first time as this system was introduced in Armenia recently. “In 2009 another 30 high schools were opened. Their number is already 48”, said Ashotyan. -0--
