ARMENIAN SCHOOLCHILDREN HAVE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIADS: ARMEN ASHOTYAN

10:09, 31 July, 2015

YEREVAN, JULY 31, ARMENPRESS. Armenian schoolchildren have had
unprecedented success in international Olympiads in recent year.

Minister of Education and Science of Armenia Armen Ashotyan said in
his interview with Armenpress that the Armenian schoolchildren won
14 medals in three Olympiads.

The Minister noted:

"We always try to set a national benchmark for us as to what the record
will be in terms of medals. For years the record has been 14, 15, 16
medals, last year it was 19, the result was unprecedented. I don't know
whether it will be repeated or not. But in the 3 Olympiads our children
have already proved that they are competitive, that Armenia's education
system, despite having some issues, is still competitive. We have many
good schoolchildren, good educational opportunities. Unfortunately,
the latter is not so widely spread, but the schoolchildren's success
witnesses the effectiveness of the reforms in the field of education."

According to Armen Ashotyan this has great political implications.

"Countries become proud of Olympic or other sports medals, we must
learn to be proud of medals won in Olympiads in the field of education,
this is no less honorable. Maybe these are not so vibrant but are
more profound and can be viewed from the position of creating the
country's reputation.", stated Armen Ashotyan.

The 9th-grade student of `Armenian Education' school, Tatev
Barseghyan, recently, was granted a special certificate from the
Universal Postal Union international jury. With her composition, she
took part in the Correspondence international competition, the theme
of which selected for this year was `Tell us about the world you want
to grow up in.' In the conversation with Aravot.am, Tatev said that
she was awarded the `Jury's Sympathy' and a certificate. `The
requirement was to compose the thoughts in the range of 600-800 words
and to talk about the world in which one would like to live and grow
up. Incidentally, the essay should be in the form of a letter-writing
and addressed to someone. I have written with pleasure, I have written
that we should not fall into despair, we should keep going ahead and
be sure that your goals will come true. It is important to listen to
the voice of the heart,' said the student. Tatev's Armenian language
teacher, Lilit Bakhshyan, said that two students from their
educational complex, Ellen and Tatev, have sent an essay, and Tatev's
essay was selected. `Tatev is a very emotional person, she sings well
and is a deep personality. I was extremely happy that her essay won.
Prior to sending, Tatev's mother had translated the essay into English
because there was such a requirement. In the meantime, we worked with
Tatev very kindly and became close friends. One thing is clear if you
doing something with love, the result becomes wonderful. The jury in
Switzerland has selected just one essay from each country.
Incidentally, we were told at the `Haypost' that Armenian had
participated in the competition of the Universal Postal Union and has
never won any award. Tatev is the first that brings an award to our
country.'
