HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT HAVE GREAT FREEDOM IN ROTATION SYSTEM

This is the second year that the rotation system has been introduced into the higher educational establishments of Armenia. The main principle is that students on tuition fee may be transferred to free of charge system in case they demonstrate high achievement. The same is true for the students on free education who may be transferred to paid tuition system in case they lower their achievement.

Department head at the ministry of education and science Sasun Melikyan was asked by Panorama.am about the number of students who shifted from one system to another, to which Melikyan answered: “These calculations are made by the higher educational establishments and they do not report to us.” He also said the ministry does not supervise that and higher educational establishment have great freedom in deciding on such matters.
