According to the state draft budget 2013 the costs for education will amount 11, 24 billion AMD in comparison with 10,1 billion AMD or by 1,07 billion AMD more than in 2012. The increase is mainly conditioned with the implementation of the RA law on Income tax that will come into force from 2013 and with supplementary means necessary for the natural increase of the wages of civil servants. The First Deputy Minister of the RA Ministry of Finance Pavel Safaryan informed about it during the joint session of the standing committees of the RA National Assembly on November 2.

Most of the finances, i.e. 11, 16 billion AMD, foreseen for scientific research activities will be spent by following directions: base funding - 8,1 billion AMD, state targeted program funding - 1,5 billion AMD, contractual (thematic) funding - 1,1 billion AMD.

The increase of the budget expenditure for education in comparison with 2012, 7,44 billion AMD, foreseen for the organizations receiving base funding by the state budget project for 2013 is conditioned with the increase of the average salary by 10 %, i.e. 68 750 AMD in comparison with 62 500 AMD in 2012, foreseen for preserving infrastructure and implementation of development programs

The RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan in response to the dissatisfaction of the deputies assured that the financing for education will increase by 243 million AMD according to the amended state budget version that will be presented at the RA National Assembly. As a result, the quality of the sector of education will correspond to the requirements defined by the law on scientific and scientific research activities.
