GAVAR, SEPTEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS. 12 public schools in border communities of Armenia’s Gegharkunik province have switched to remote learning due to the current situation created as a result of the latest Azerbaijani aggression.

Governor of Gegharkunik Karen Sargsyan told Armenpress that these schools are located in the settlements of Vardenis which have been targeted by the Azerbaijani forces, and the decision to switch to remote learning was made for security purposes. The other educational institutions in the province operate offline.

“The total number of students involved in remote learning is 1245. I want to note that 7072 students of 36 educational institutions in Vardenis have been deprived of the right to education for a week as a result of the large-scale Azerbaijani aggression. 500 children were deprived of the right to attend kindergartens. Of course, the remote learning creates its difficulties connected with equipment opportunities. In order to solve this problem, we are working with different structures and do everything possible so that no child is left without the opportunity to study online”, the Governor said.
