Learning difficulty: Exam season in Armenia reveals education system woes

Educators in Armenia have faced questions amid a mounting debate about the quality and fairness of graduation/entrance tests that some say are deliberately complicated to produce more failing results this year.

The speculation is that since Armenia switched from the old-fashioned 10-grade general education to a reformed 12-grade system under the Bologna process, next year will create a gap and will not produce any graduates for state-run and private schools of higher learning that have been mushrooming in the country lately. The failures of this year, therefore, will become entrants next year, the speculation has it.
