School textbooks correspond to criteria and three-dimensional learning is applied in schools, said Zangak-97 Publishing House President Sokrat Mkrtchyan at a press conference today, speaking about textbooks in today’s schools. That many complain that the textbooks are complex and incomprehensible, the publicist said:
“Our parents want that all children to study well in school, and textbooks, since they’re planned for three-dimensional learning, can provide a level of knowledge to the student who has that corresponding level of knowledge.”
Mkrtchyan added that they’ll be organizing courses for teachers every week, so that educators can become familiar with newly published textbooks and prepare corresponding curricula in the near future.
Asked by Epress.am why, by having textbooks that correspond to criteria and trained teachers, students turn to tutors to get accepted into university, Mkrtchyan said that schools in Armenia prepare students from the very first grade for examinations.
“Having left their original purpose (to pass on knowledge to students), schools have been turned into training centers,” said Mkrtchyan.
