Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports and introduced newly appointed Minister Vahram Dumanyan to the ministry staff.
The Premier thanked outgoing Minister Arayik Harutyunyan for his efforts and wished Vahram Dumanyan fruitful activities.
“Dear colleagues, there is a lot of talk about the status of state institutions in the country. I am convinced that our problems are due to underdeveloped state institutions. In the meantime, we should not ignore the role of thinking as an institution. I believe that we should look into this issue from a wider perspective in order to understand it and see what kind of thinking we are guided by, how well this institution meets our needs, demands and interests. It seems to be obvious that we must reform our thinking in order to achieve the goals we have set,” the Prime Minister said.
Thanking the ministry staff for joint work, Arayik Harutyunyan said that the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports has taken shape as a state institution and is in good working condition. He stressed that the Ministry responded adequately to the challenges that emerged during the war and throughout the COVID pandemic owing to the efforts exerted by the staff.
