The RA Government during its session made a decision to unite Yerevan State College of Culture with Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinema, and Yerevan State Pop and Jazz Arts College with Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas.

After this decision Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that international experts offer to implement this kind of approach to universities as well. ‘I consider that our universities are small’ the Prime Minister said. In response the RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan noted that enlargement process has already started in private higher education system. ‘Small universities are not competitive in terms of both education content and quality. We have never implemented such a policy at state universities although many people talk about its necessity. I think we have to begin the process of state universities’ enlargement next year based on serious analyses’.

Minister of Education and Science noted that this may become an obvious cause for speculation and amateur opinions. Therefore, according to the Minister, the questions must be solved correctly and on time.
