"Regarding teacher pay, with all due respect, when we're talking about total system numbers and you're citing your multiple teacher calls, you're acting like you were referring to me at the beginning of your speech comparing pears to apples." - During the budget hearings of the National Assembly, Artur Khachatryan, deputy of the "Hayastan" faction, was addressed by KGSM minister Zhanna Andreasyan.
Before that, Artur Khachatryan said that he had contacted the teachers of several schools and they said that the figure announced by Andreasyan, that more than half of the teachers receive a salary of more than 300 drams, is not observed in their schools.
Andreasyan mentioned that if statistical indicators are presented, then Khachatryan should have provided equivalent indicators.
"We have more than 30,000 teachers in the system, and depending on who calls which teacher, we will appear in the famous story of the ancient Indian elephant, when everyone touched a different part of the elephant's body and, based on that, got the most different impressions of what the animal looks like. . I think we all have enough maturity not to put ourselves in that situation."
He said that they are not talking about the optimization of schools, but the main goal of the policy is to ensure access to quality education, and today they are building 223 new schools for this purpose.
