We will have 8 consolidated state universities which will be moved to Ashtarak’s academic city

04 Sep 2022

The start of reforms also in higher education cannot be delayed any longer. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated about this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the government of Armenia.

“The shameful statistics of (university) entrance exams should become a strong impetus for this. Our universities often do not meet international standards—both in terms of physical infrastructure and the level of education. There are either no university standards in the country, or they are not in place. People with higher education diplomas are often uncompetitive in the market.

In this field, we are ready to go the way of enlargement of universities and integration with some research institutes, so that we will have eight consolidated state universities; those universities will meet international standards,” the PM said.

Pashinyan added that the government has already decided on the location of the academic city; it will be built in Ashtarak city of Aragatsotn Province.

“The merging and renewing universities will move to the academic city over time,” said Pashinyan. “We will go to any university that does not meet the set standard, and simply remove that sign next to the door that says ‘university,’ because in most cases there is nothing else [there] but that sign.”

The premier added that there will be resistance to all this, but if they do not make such decisions now, we will face a disaster; that is, we are facing a disaster now, too.
