News - Pashinyan: There is a line below which teacher's qualification cannot be, children's interests are the most important

Three years ago a teacher's salary could not be doubled, there was no such option, now we have created a way for it and we urge teachers to go through that way and get more than double their salary. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a live press conference, referring to the question of a teacher who failed to pass the certification threshold and was asking to do him a favor and not leave him out of the system. "We realize that the interests of our children are also important, if not the most important. We say we want to make sure that the teacher who enters the classroom meets certain standards. There is a line below which the qualification of a teacher cannot be. If we have not principles when it comes to a child's education, we condemn those children to poverty. The main cause of poverty is either the lack of education or its lack of quality. Condemning children to poverty means condemning the state to poverty and destruction," said Pashinyan.
