Russia Learns from Armenia Details in Education
Today in the press conference Victor Boltov, the chief of education and science supervision federation service, said that Armenia and Russia are good colleagues in the educational and science sphere. Mr. Boltov mentioned that Russia has things to learn from us: in the Armenian language testing system there exists 0.5 point for the wrong answers. Mr. Boltov said that he will offer this method to his colleagues, as he thinks that this is a better way to conduct the tests. Besides he mentioned that professional specialists work in the Armenian testing and evaluating centre.
Victor Boltov said, “It is possible that in the nearest future Armenian and Russian specialists will have opportunity to exchange their ideas and experience.” Mr. Boltov mentioned that the meetings are first of all recommended by Bologna declaration: to try to decrease the risks of corruption, which is the most difficult part in education.
Victor Boltov announced that he had a discussion with Levon Mkrtchyan, the Minister of Education and Science, to organize regional examinations, but there exist lots of problems, as for the evaluating methods.
