ArmInfo.  Acting. Prime Minister of Armenia, who heads the election campaign list of the "My Step" electoral bloc, Nikol Pashinyan, on December 1, at a meeting with  voters in Meghri city of Syunik region, called for a qualitatively  new attitude to be formed in the education system. Pashinyan  presented the main ways of developing human capital in Armenia.

According to the Acting Head of government, unfortunately currently  there is formal attitude towards the education system. Parents often  judge the quality of their child's education based on their diary  marks. "Do we ask ourselves whether these grades are adequate to the  knowledge gained, or whether they ensure the child's future  competitiveness in the labor market?" Pashinyan asked.

According to the leader of the ''My Step'' bloc, the leaders of the  velvet revolution have a lot of work to do in this direction. "We  have no right to tolerance with regard to a poor-quality teacher,  because a low-level specialist de-motivates a good one. In this  matter, we cannot afford to compromise," he said.

Nikol Pashinyan noted that Armenia is traditionally proud of its  human capital. "This is our greatest wealth" the Acting Prime  Minister said. According to him, all efforts should be aimed at  raising the level of education to new heights, as it is the guarantor  of future victories for the younger generation and the whole country,  as a whole. Thus, as Pashinyan pointed out, the activities of the new  government should be aimed at improving the educational system and  the formation of a healthy nation. "Armenia should be one of the most  prosperous countries in the world," concluded Pashinyan.

To note, the candidates from the "My step" bloc, headed by Acting  Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan hold meetings with voters  in the settlements of Syunik region. They began their campaign from  Meghri. Candidates from the Alliance "My Step" will also visit the  cities of Kajaran, Kapan and Goris.
