Armenia’s education on the right track – president

YEREVAN, October 17./ARKA/. The path Armenia picked in education sector is the right one, and the country should continue moving on that path, Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan said.

“If our educational reforms were not good and if we contributed to demolition of the educational system, how it comes that schoolchildren and students from a small country like Armenia always get awards at all international competitions”, Sargsyan said in handing out president’s education awards on IT. 

“IT for us is a priority. It is not only our future, but our present as well”, he said. Future belongs to the countries able to make achievements in IT, he added.

“We should become an information society, whether we want it or not. The earlier it happens, the better for the people and the country. It is an imperative and does not depend on the authorities”, the president said.

The president congratulated the winners and wished them to turn studies into a creative process and not to be lazy if they want to have further achievements. –0--
