ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan briefly spoke about his vision of “late”reforms in the field of education, science and culture. At the meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, the head of  government noted that despite the fact that reforms in these areas  are somewhat late, but the government intends to carry them out in  line with indigenous conceptual transformations.

As Pashinyan stated, the government is working on a new law on  education and science so that these critical areas to put on a new  institutional framework. In this vein, he noted the importance of  revaluation of the role of teachers and a significant increase in  wage. Already in September, as the first step, according to the Prime  Minister, the salary of school teachers who have successfully passed  the certification, from September of the current year will increase  by 30-50%. At the same time, the prime minister stressed the need to  significantly increase the standards of teaching.

The same new modern standards should be implemented in the  educational process at Armenia universities, and not only in terms of  the content and methodology of teaching, but also of the physical  environment. In this regard, Pashinyan shared his idea of ??creating  near Yerevan of a large academic town where most universities  operating in the Armenian capital could be relocated. This will make  it possible to fully reformat the educational and scientific process  by moving it into modern standards. Including in such student and  scientific complexes-campus, you can stimulate student sports and  develop a healthy lifestyle.  Pashinyan also noted the great  importance of the question associated with a significant increase in  government funding of science. Stressing that the government is doing  everything possible to solve this task, the prime minister stressed  the importance of developing such a financing system that would be as  efficient as efficient and brought great returns.

Speaking about the cultural sphere, the prime minister noticed that  very often ideas for the cultural sites and even stamps would not  correlate in any way with what is happening in the real life of the  country. This gap often leads to dissonances and crisis phenomena.   "This discrepancy prevents the movement forward, our development,  when in cultural terms we have one understanding, and in other, real  life," - noted Pashinyan.
