YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: The process of the expansion of the higher educational institutions in Armenia is not projected in near future, but it is unavoidable in future. Armenpress cited Armen Ashotyan the Minister of Education and Science.

“The enlargement of the universities in Armenia must be soon or late implemented. The formed objective reasons are the basis of it. The expansion is a domestic demand the evidence is the data on the educational system of Armenia” noted the Minister.

He reminded that there were 90 private and 22 state and interstate universities 4 years ago. This indicator was ridiculous for our country. I would be glad if such numerous universities would be able to ensure high-quality education. Strengthening the supervision, restricting the requirements the number of private universities decreased to 35. But it is still not enough” underlined Armen Ashotyan.

He also reminded that 4 private universities have already been closed during this year.
