ArmInfo.The Armenian Ministry of Culture has found a way to stimulate interest among schoolchildren in visiting museums.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Culture, Minister Lilit Makunts today met with the directors of the museums subordinate to the Ministry, during which she presented general principles and the need to introduce the school system of subscriptions. According to her, the introduction of the school system of season tickets is aimed at stimulating communication between educational institutions and cultural centers. "A child, at least from the age of 6 years, should be taught to attend cultural institutions on the principle of free choice - without any coercion, and the government, in turn, for each student is ready to provide free access to at least 3 cultural institutions," - said Makunts. The new system will be introduced in October 2018 - after the number of pupils in Armenian schools will be clarified, as the subscriptions for a free one-time visit to 3 cultural institutions (theatre, museum or gallery, concert hall) will be issued in accordance with the exact number of schoolchildren.
