Private sector interested in making concrete investments in education system, says PM Pashinyan

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 8, ARMENPRESS. One of the most important processes taking place in Armenia in the past months are the signs of rebirth of professional education. By the mediation and encouragement of the government dozens of private companies sign contracts with the state colleges for preparing specialists for them, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Facebook, Armenpress reports.

He stated that this means that the private sector is interested in making concrete investments in the education system, providing material-technical support to the colleges in order to prepare cadres necessary for these companies.

“This means that at least majority of the graduates will have a guaranteed job. The happiest part is that this process is also being carried out in the provinces. Currently nearly two dozen contracts have been signed in the fields of textile, tourism, food industry, design and etc. Signing of nearly dozens more contracts is expected in the near future. I call on all private companies to closely cooperate with the ministry of education and science, the government to expand this extremely positive process”, Nikol Pashinyan said.
