The Prime Minister thanked and noted that such research works are interesting. According to Nikol Pashinyan, the implementation of research works in schools as part of the educational process is already a mandatory condition by the new standard of general education. “Today we made sure that it was the right decision and that the research component should be highlighted. In general, we believe, and this is the most important segment of our reforms in the field of education, that education and research are closely interconnected. What we heard and saw is clearly useful. First of all, why are we interested in such meetings and discussions? Because we constantly talk about that we should go after the decisions we made and see how they are expressed and maybe we need to improve and change them. This is also the reason why we are interested in attending such events,” said the Prime Minister.
