No way a uniform: free…black and white

“The main thing now is to raise the level of education. I want to see competitive schools, teachers, and students. To reach that stage, of course, there is much to be done, but steps have been taken,” stressed head of middle school education in Armenia, Narine Hovhannisyan.

According to her, order and rule will prevail in schools. For example, students using cell phones in class will be punished. Concerning uniforms, she said nothing about mandatory uniforms has been announced.

“If you know of any school who demands the wearing of uniforms, let us know. We will work to solve that problem,” Hovhannisyan said, in reference to the continuing claims made by the “Sargis Tkhruni” organization.

Those cases, she says, are the result of the willfulness of certain school principals, adding that if this problem continues (how can it continue if it hasn’t started-panorama.am), it will be solved quickly. “We will choose the simple solution and change to black and white…the traditional uniform.”
