[Boghos]

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia is

organizing one-month training seminars on Armenian studies for Diaspora

teachers, on August 1-30, 2001. It is planned to hold three different

seminars at a time: for elementary, secondary and high school teachers.

 

A special program has been evaluated for training Diaspora teachers by the

Ministry, and with the participation of the best teachers and scientists

from Armenia and the Diaspora. The training will be held both in Western and

Eastern Armenian. The program includes twelve subjects for elementary,

eleven for secondary, and fifteen for high school levels. Each group will be

composed of twelve teachers. The participants will pass a test by the end of

the program and will be given a special certificate.

 

There is no participation fee for teachers. However, the participants should

cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. Special tours will be

organized by the Ministry of Education and Sciences and the "Union of

Constantinople Armenians" of Los Angeles, CA.

 

The applications should be submitted by the July 15th, 2001, either to the
