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. Reply |
