Debate on Purity and Progress: Government retreats on foreign-language curriculum issue, but not far enough opponents say
Outcry over a pending initiative by the Government of Armenia to reopen foreign language schools in Armenia has caused authorities to abandon the idea and agree to allow only foreign language curriculum in private schools, and only then at no more than one percent (about 14 schools) of all schools.
Opponents of the draft law are still not satisfied, however, saying that the move does not “alleviate the danger” they perceive to the education system should foreign language programs be accredited. Reply |
