YEREVAN, November 22. /ARKA/. Increase of quality of middle-special and hackwork education is one of priorities of the Armenian Ministry of Education, said Head of Department of Primary and Middle-Special Education of the ministry Robert Abramyan on Monday in the press-conference.
“During Soviet times we had rather developed system of middle-special education but after its breakdown this system was completely taken off the state trusteeship. Starting from 2004-2005 reforms are implemented in this system”, he said.
Rehabilitation of this sphere is taking place due to financial support of international structures.
“European Commission is supporting us since 2007 which allocated in total 810 million drams ($2.2 million) till 2009 for construction works. In 2010 this assistance made 1 billion 600 million drams ($44.3 million)”, said Abramyan.
Training of pedagogical staff is performed.
“One of the main problems is the low salary of teachers of middle-special institutions. Currently, we negotiate with the Armenian Ministry of Finance and possibly we could manage to increase the salary by 10-15%”, he said.
“We should have qualified specialists having demand in the labor market”, said Abramyan.
At present there are 83 state middle-special institutions, 29 hackwork colleges where in total 37 thousand students are studying. --0—
