Armenian youth makes more pragmatic and grounded choice in education

On April 19, Yerevan State Armenian-Greek College of Tourism, Service and Food Industry hosted opening of kitchen-laboratory, tasting and reception hall, as well as hotel for practical classes.

Armenian Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan and representatives of the Greek embassy in Armenia participated in the event.

Ashotyan said the Ministry praises the innovative approaches of the staff and students of the college to strengthen ties with the labor marker and modernize education. “The Armenian youth has started making more pragmatic and grounded choice,” he said.

The Minister also noted that it is better to have a secondary vocational education with secured employment than become an economist or lawyer with indefinite outlooks.
