the ՛՛SALAR International՛՛ organization.
Today, the First Deputy Mayor of Vagharshapat, Arsen Petrosyan, hosted a delegation
led by Shane Quin, the head of the ՛՛DiaLog՛՛ program of ՛՛SALAR International.՛՛ During
the meeting, the discussion focused on reforms within the school management system.
՛՛DiaLog՛՛ is an educational program in which various initiatives are being carried out in
10 communities across Armenia, involving 34 schools, to strengthen the school-
community connection. These initiatives cover topics such as school management, out-
of-school activities, and civic education, among others.
In our community, the participating schools are Primary School No. 1, Primary School
No. 4, and High School No. 2.
The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Mayor of Vagharshapat, Mher
Mkrtchyan, and the head of the municipality's Department of Education and Culture,
Lilith Hakobyan.
"Education is constantly evolving and developing sector where reforms and exchange
of experiences are of paramount importance. In this regard, we welcome the
implementation of this program in our community. Although schools are under the
jurisdiction of the regional governor's and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture,
and Sports, the municipality always maintains close collaborations and communication
with the schools," noted Arsen Petrosyan.
At the end of the meeting, the delegation visited the historical and ethnographic
museum of Vagharshapat and the newly consecrated Mother Cathedral.
