ArmInfo.  The Visual Armenia Development Foundation, within the framework of the Ashkharatsuyts educational program, has been implementing the Smart Screens for  Schools program since 2023 with the aim of equipping secondary  schools with modern technology. This was reported by the press  service of the RA Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports.

As the source notes, as a result of the program, 140 secondary  schools in the regions of the Republic of Armenia and in the city of  Yerevan have become owners of the latest interactive liquid crystal  display. This year, the program will continue, and a competition has  been announced among schools in the republic for its implementation.  As a result of the competition, another 50 schools will have the  opportunity to become owners of the latest interactive liquid crystal  display. The program has become possible for the third year in a row  thanks to the funding of the Manoukian Simon Foundation, and since  this year also the G.  Hovnanyan Family Foundation.

All non-profit general education schools of the Ashkharatsuts  educational community that have at least three months of experience  using its educational platform and have not previously launched a  smart screen within the program can apply for participation in the  competition.

The competition will be held in two stages. The deadline for  applications is June 30. The full application package must be sent to  [email protected], indicating the project title in the  "Topic" section:  "Smart screens for Ashkharatsuyts 2025 schools".  The 2nd stage - the actual project implementation and training - will  begin on August 20 and end on November 1 with the submission of  project works.

Schools that have completed the second stage of the program will be  involved in at least 6 thematic trainings (project work skills, 21st  century skills, ICT skills, presentation skills, etc.), the purpose  of which is to guide and support participating schools on the way to  creating the best project work. Project works will be evaluated by  the competition committee.
