REFORMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
In NKR the law on higher and post-graduate education is to be adopted soon. The bill has already been approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The bill will also be discussed by the government and then proposed to the National Assembly. To find out what changes and innovations are expected in the system of higher education we had a talk with the head of the department for higher and secondary education of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport Sos ARZUMANIAN. Sos Arzumanian: «Perhaps many people already know that the law was adopted in the Republic of Armenia too. Having a common system of education, the NKR bill on higher and post-graduate education is identical to the RA law. According to the bill, the system of education should provide necessary liberties important for the improvement of the quality of education. At the same time it is attempted to clarify the functions of the government in this sphere. The bill maintains the major directions and the system of higher educational institutions fulfills those functions. The next innovation brought about by the bill is the introduction of the two degree education: the undergraduate course for obtaining bachelor's degree and the graduate course for obtaining master's degree. The bill introduces several new notions as well, such as the credit system which means following the principles of human liberties in education. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System will be introduced in Artsakh giving students access to the European higher education area. That is to say, having collected the necessary amount of credits students from Artsakh can continue their studies at other universities both in the same country and in other countries. In other words, the credit system means access to the European universities. The bill also involves the system of student grants. Students will be given a chance for free education depending on how well they study, taking into consideration the social factor as well. Importance is attached to the educational standards and curriculums which will be worked out in accordance with modern standards. The bill has a new approach to the state policy for higher and post-graduate education. The bill maintains equal rights for all the accredited higher educational institutions independent of the form of organization thus solving the problem of difference between state and non-state university diplomas. After the adoption of the law each university will grant its diploma bearing the number of the accreditation licence. The new bill eliminates the state diploma. The introduction of the new order of giving diplomas will act as a stimulus for the educational institutions, including the state ones, to become accredited as soon as possible. It should be noted that the process of accreditation will not be easy, and it will take the given institution much effort to meet the requirements for accreditation. A university will be accredited if the qualification of 60 per cent of the students and graduates of two years is evaluated as positive. At least 75 per cent of the specialties must be accredited. Certainly the committee for licensing and accreditation should be much more demanding in reference to accreditation than licensing in order to favour the improvement of the quality of higher education. After the application of the law admittance will be held in accordance with the curriculums for the bachelor's course. In art colleges the former curriculums will not be replaced in certain specialties. Until the academic year of 2009 - 2010 the former system of five year education will exist along with the two degree system. The introduction of the credit system is planned in the academic year of 2006 - 2007.»
