BASIC PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION IN ARMENIA IN THE SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET PERIODS

Abstract

In the modern society, in the comprehensive field of human activities, education occupies a unique place, on the direction and effectiveness of which the prospects of human development depend. As in the previous era, so nowadays, in both public consciousness and state policy, education, especially quality education and upbringing, remains among the priorities as a national value and an important factor of socio-economic progress. As in all times, modern society demands from education to raise fully developed, broad-minded, educated generations with high moral values. These problems can be solved only through reforms in the education system, new teaching methods, combining theory and practice, applying self-education, knowledge, abilities and skills in life.

Therefore, education is not only a social, cultural value, but also a humanistic, public value. In this context, the experience gained in the past, the true evaluation and re-interpretation of the heritage of the past become a requirement of the time and an imperative. Therefore, the coverage and analysis of the development trends of the two different and opposite systems of the Armenian coexistence by using the historical-comparative method is due to this.
