YSU STUDENTS SUGGEST ANTI-CORRUPTION METHODS
Support A1+!“High-quality education is not acceptable for students due to corruption. We suggest mechanisms for combating the phenomenon,” says Janna Budaryan, a member of “Hope” Student Initiative Group.
On May 3, thousands of students moved to the RoA Government building shouting, “Yerevan State University,” and “Armenia.” They wanted to hand the Prime Minister a letter with their suggestions to improve educational system. According to the Initiative Group members, corruption has become a deeply-rooted phenomenon in Armenia.
In respond to A1+'s question whether they had ever encountered corruption, a second-year student Artak said, “We face corruption every day and at each step.”
The participants of “Hope” read their letter in front of the Government premises and presented its provisions; • Combating corruption • Supervising the admission process to higher educational institutions • Increasing professors' salaries
According to the authors, the portfolio of the Minister of Education shouldn't belong to any party.
The students handed the letter to Alexander Ghazaryan, the Deputy Minister of Regional Government, who promised to meet their requirements.
