Armenian Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan and VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian signed a cooperation agreement on April 3.

Five projects in secondary and higher education spheres will be implemented within the program framework, while the company undertakes to invest AMD 37mln in education.

Minister Ashotyan said this is a unique agreement because all five provisions set therein are based on the priorities set by the government for 2012, and the investment thus becomes quite targeted.

For his part, Mr. Yirikian said he realizes the importance of the private sector’s role in educational and expects such projects to be continuous.
