“Do not open Pandora’s Box”
Chairman of the Public Council of Armenia Vazgen Manukyan urges the RA government to recall its proposal on opening foreign schools in Armenia.
The Council considers the bill to be inadmissible and compares it with Pandora's Box.
"First of all it is a blow to our national and state interests. We think that the government must increase the quality of education but through other methods," said Vazgen Manukyan.
Manukyan received Russian education and remembers the gap between Armenian and Russian schools.
"Over 90% of Russian school-leavers did not know Armenian history and grammar," he recalled.
"It is very important that a child obtains primary education in his mother tongue and then learns foreign languages," he concluded.
