Zhoghovurd: Gyumri’s Engineering University, Pedagogical University to be merged due to reduction in number of students
Rumors circulate in Gyumri that the Gyumri branch of the State Engineering University of Armenia and Gyumri State Pedagogical University may be merged.
Citing well-informed sources, Zhoghovurd daily says that the reason of merging is the reduction in the number of students which has led to the increase in the expenditures of the universities.
Speaking to the paper, Armenian Education Ministry spokesman Arthur Baghdasaryan said that the project of merging the two universities is still being discussed, and that there is no decision yet as to how and on what conditions they will be merged.
