The competition over which books should be used in schools has already been finished, RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan told journalists at a press conference today.

The Ministry has decided that there will be no new books for 3-4 subjects in senior schools, as those books do not meet the quality standards experts expect.

“The Ministry assumes political responsibility to prevent bad books from entering schools. I have for several occasions confessed that it is far easier to prevent bad books from entering schools than to later eradicate them from the education process,” said Ashotyan.
