Education as cornerstone oflong-term development strategy -  vice-premier 

ArmInfo.  RA Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan attended an event held to mark the 90th anniversary of Bryusov State University. Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan also attended.

As reported by the government press service, after congratulating  those present on the university's anniversary, the Deputy Prime  Minister noted that this day is another opportunity to re-evaluate  the significant contribution the university has made over the decades  to developing the country's pedagogical potential and strengthening  the humanities. Having begun its existence as a university of foreign  languages, Bryusov State University has over the years strengthened  its role as a research center, training qualified teachers, leading  linguists and literary scholars, as well as specialists with  competitive, flexible, and applied skills for the labor market. "I  would like to emphasize that, while remaining committed to high  academic standards, the university has always strived to ensure  international competitiveness, providing Armenian students with the  opportunity to study nearly two dozen foreign languages and cultures,  as well as develop intercultural communication skills, so crucial in  today's reality. Despite these outstanding results, ensuring a  quality education requires constant effort and dedication. We are  confident that you will continue to utilize your high professional  responsibility and knowledge for the benefit of the university's  continuous development, confirming its role as a leader in Armenia's  education system, humanities, intercultural communication, and the  training of a new generation of educators.

I would like to take this opportunity to confirm that the government  views education as the cornerstone of its long-term development  strategy-in other words, education as a development strategy.  Therefore, we must consistently direct our daily efforts to ensuring  quality education-from kindergarten and secondary schools to  universities," said the Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia.
