C12578310056925bc12570660 SHORT ANALYSIS OF TRAINING PROVISION IN ARMENIA National Observatory in Armenia ETF Working paper 2005 THE INVENTORY OF VET PROVIDERS IN ARMENIA I. Introduction It is known that vocational education implies the processes of training, re-training and re- qualification. In the Republic of Armenia these processes are fulfilled both in formal and in non- formal educational ways. It is performed by the state, private organizations and NGOs. Such variety of VET is performed in a legal form; however, in practice partially there is also non- legalized and shadow vocational training, which is performed by individual entrepreneurs. The objective of this study is to explore the VET providers in the Republic of Armenia. To do that in the initial stage one has to: 1. Discover the providers of vocational education (training), re-training and re- qualification; 2. Differentiate the VET providers: as by division of public sectors (state, private, public); 3. Differentiate the VET providers: as by types of education (formal and non-formal); 4. Differentiate the VET providers: as by level of education (preliminary professional (craftsmanship) and middle professional education); 5. Differentiate the VET providers: as by professional orientation; 6. Differentiate the VET providers: as by marzes. The inventory of VET providers and their differentiation as by the aforementioned will enable to get the preliminary picture of VET providers in Armenia and its analysis will enable to diagnose the existing problems of the system. II. The Material and Methodology of the Study According to the above-mentioned objectives of the study it is necessary to outline the discovery list of providers of vocational education, re-training and re-qualification in the Republic of Armenia. While developing the latter the differentiation of VET providers as by the above- mentioned parameters, have been taken into account i.e. the providers of vocational education/training, re-training and re-qualification have been identified: - which type of property belong to: state, private, NGO; - perform formal or informal education; - which level of vocational education is provided by: preliminary vocational (craftsmanship), middle vocational; - in which marz and town is located. 1 And finally, in case of possibility, in that list the target groups of population will be mentioned, for whom those courses are designated for (unemployed, refugees, disabled, freedom fighters, poor people, etc). Official and nonofficial sources were used in order to fulfill the discovery list of VET providers in the Republic of Armenia. To collect official information letters were forwarded to the ministries and agencies of RA Government. RA National Statistical Service and State Tax Service have officially refused the request reasoning that the given information is a state secret. Official information was received only from RA Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Trade and Economic Development. Nonofficial information was collected from the selective social polls. As a preliminary basis for the data collection the following served as basis of information: 1. “Spyur” information portal (2003); 2. SP INFO phone information portal (2002); 3. Web page of training and media center for NGOs of Armenian Congress of America in Armenia (2004); 4. Information guidebook of organizers of adults’ training (2003); 5. Own information of the authors of the study. The above-mentioned preliminary sources of information have contained various startup data. The information concerning the training, re-training and re-qualification has been in constraint and needed to be rectified. This issue especially was about the providers of informal education. The most complete information was about the providers of middle professional and preliminary professional (craftsmanship) education in the state institutions, where there was a clear identification about the types of professions taught in every institution. The data on enterprises (factories, construction companies, offices, agencies, etc.) contained only address and telephone or data about the major and secondary activities. The complete information was mentioned only in cases of individual organizations. The preliminary information on NGOs was mainly about their mission, projects and provided services. Thus, there emerged an issue of telephone social polls, which was carried out within the scope of study of the given sector. 2 The telephone survey in particular contained the following questions. Does the given institution, enterprise, organization provide courses of training, re-training and re-qualification? If it does, then for which groups of population: for example workers, office employees, unemployed, children, retired people, and other target groups. Who is in charge of carrying out those courses, where, what is their duration and orientation. The results of telephone survey come to prove that in the startup information sources the data have been not only limited and needed clarification and completion, but often contained unreliable, incorrect and incomplete information, which made the need of re-clarification necessary and appropriate. III. The Results of Survey and Analysis The analysis of the survey material has been conducted in accordance with the above-mentioned issues and their relevant methodology. 1.Identify the list of organizations providing vocational education, re-training and re- qualification in RA. The list includes 5 characteristics of the organizations: i. The name of the VET provider; ii. The legal-organizational form of the VET provider (state non-commercial organization /SNCO/, closed joint-stock company /CJSC/, limited liability company /LTD/, cooperative, entrepreneur, non-governmental organization /NGO/); iii. The location of the VET provider (settlement); iv. The address and telephone number of the VET provider; v. The training services provided by VET provider of the organizations providing with vocational education, re-training and re-qualification. 2. Differentiation of VET providers as by form of ownership (state, private, public (societal)). Table 1 contains the breakdown of VET providing organizations as by forms of ownership of the discovery list: Table 1. VET providers’ form of ownership Number % 1. State organization (SNCO, CJSC) 114 29.9 2. Private organization 80 20.9 3. Public 187 49.2 Total 381 100 3 According to the data identified in the Table 1 NGOs have the largest portion of all the organizations providing VET - approximately 50%. This comes to speak about NGOs playing increasingly big role in Armenia, will of the people to get together in an NGO and free expression of their capacities. According to the calculations the second place is with state organizations providing vocational education and training. They form 1/3 of all the organizations included in the discovery list. With its fundamental training character the state continues to play a prestigious and stable role in the domain of vocational education and training. According to the above-mentioned data the third place is with the private organizations. The compose 1/5 of organizations included in the discovery list. The relative scarcity of the latter is explained by the transition nature of the economy. The transitions from the planned economy to the free market relationships require not only capital investments, professional knowledge and skills in organizing and managing the education and training, but also capacity to take the risk. The vivid example for it is the breakdown of organizations providing vocational training, re- training and re-qualification as by legal-organizational form as quoted in Table 2. Table 2 VET providers’ organizational-legal form Number % 1. SNCO 111 29.1 2. CJSC 10 2.6 3. LTD 70 18.4 4. COOP 2 0.5 5. Individual entrepreneurs 1 0.3 6. NGO 187 49.1 Total 381 100 As one can see from the table the total number of cooperatives and entrepreneurs is tine – less than 1%. 3. Differentiation of the VET providers as by forms of training. The breakdown of organizations providing VET as by types of training is quoted in Table 3: Table 3 VET providers as by form of education Number % 1. Formal VET 142 37.3 2. Non formal VET 239 62.7 Total 381 100 4 According to the data quoted in table 3 the number of organizations providing informal education/training is prevailing. Mostly private organizations and NGOs provide informal vocational education or training. Formal education/training is carried out by state and private middle professional and preliminary professional (craftsmanship) educational institutions. 4. The differentiation of VET providers as by the levels of vocational education – middle vocational education, preliminary professional (craftsmanship) education. The breakdown of organizations providing VET as by levels of education is quoted in Table 4: Table 4. VET providers by the level of vocational State Private education Number % Number % 1. Middle vocational education 85 73.3 31 26.7 2. Preliminary vocational (craftsmanship) education 37 100 0 0 Total 122 79.7 31 20.3 According to the data quoted in table 4 no preliminary professional education (craftsmanship) is provided in private organizations. This is probable explained by the fact that the organization of vocational education of that level continues to be of low demand and as a business is not profitable. According to the discovery list of VET providers in the state organizations of providers of middle professional education more than 100 professions are taught. 11 of those state institutions also carry out preliminary professional (craftsmanship) education for 7 professions. 5. The differentiation of VET providers as by professions’ orientation. Table 5 shows the breakdown of VET providing organizations quoted in the discovery list as by professions’ orientation. The data are about the providers of informal education. Table 5. VET providers by orientation of the courses Number % 1. Accountancy 13 5.2 2. Languages 46 18.3 3. IT 68 27.1 4 Services 4 1.6 5 Small and Medium Entrepreneurship 29 11.6 6 Crafts 44 17.5 7 Others 47 18.7 Total 251 100 5 According to the data of table 5 the greatest share among the providers of informal education belongs to the providers of IT training.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

    Karabakh Oleg KUZNETSOV, PhD in History, MCL (Moscow, Russia) First Terrorist War: A Look from Russia (Transnational Armenian Terrorism and Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict of 1988-1994) End. For the beginning, see İRS-Heritage 2 (21), 3 (22) 2015 n addition to numerous acts of terrorism and wide- spread terrorist crimes related to the organization by Iforeign nationals of illegal armed groups in the terri- tory of Armenia and their participation in the activities of such groups, representatives of the Armenian side to the conflict committed other crimes of a similar nature during the Karabakh war, facts that were recorded on the Azerbaijani side. First of all, we are talking about a Car in which journalist S. Asgarova, Lt-Col Larionov, Maj Ivanov and Sgt Goyek were shot dead by Armenian terrorists on 9 January 1991 58 www.irs-az.com 4(23), WINTER 2015 very specific terrorist crime like an armed insurgency, criminal liability for which is stipulated by Article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The main qualifying feature of this criminal act is the motiva- tion and goal-setting of participation in the crime: those guilty of committing it take action to change the constitutional system or the territorial integrity of the country. Actions of this kind were committed by soldiers of Armenian origin under the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 336th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division of the 4th Army of the CIS Joint Armed Forces under the command of Major Seyran Ohanyan, who not only seized fighting equipment - infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-2) - without a military order, but also used them against Azerbaijani territorial defense units in the battle of 25 February 1992 for the town of Khojali, which subsequently led to mass deaths of civilians in this town.
