This year in Yerevan, in 23 music schools, students studying Armenian national instruments will be sponsored by the government, as informed Kamo Movsisyan, head of city halls’ education department, to a panorama.am journalist. In his words, 10 million dram has been allocated for the first half year for this purpose. He pointed out that 7,018 dram is set aside for each student, and that in previous years this has never happened. “In four months, additional funds will be added to the budget,” he concluded.
