At a government meeting on August 29, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced plans to implement new standards for school interiors. This decision follows his recent unscheduled visits to educational institutions across the country.

"We must not burden our children with our own issues. It's essential to create an environment where they can develop independently, free from outdated approaches," Pashinyan stated, emphasizing the importance of fostering a supportive atmosphere for learning.

Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan backed the Prime Minister’s initiative, noting that the new educational standards, which focus on flexibility, creativity, and independent thinking, require an appropriate physical environment.

Pashinyan also highlighted the need for regular maintenance of school buildings, pointing out that new schools quickly lose their appealing appearance due to weather conditions. He stressed the importance of timely renovations and repairs.

Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan provided statistics on the construction of new schools. He reported that 28 new educational institutions have already been put into operation since the beginning of the year, with another seven set to open by September 1. By the end of the year, 35 schools are expected to be completed, and an additional 26 are planned for completion in 2025.
