On May 30, the official opening launch event of the Technology Education Foundation took place, which gathered government members, representatives of embassies and international organizations, as well as technology community members under one roof.
During the event, Hakob Arshakyan, Deputy Speaker of the RA National Assembly, and Zhanna Andreasyan, Minister of Education, Culture and Science, gave speech of welcome, emphasizing the activities of the foundation and the programs aimed at the development of technological education in Armenia.
"In Armenia, as well as in the whole world, there is a gap between the requirements of industries and the knowledge provided by university education. Such initiatives designed especially for non-formal education and innovative knowledge training come to fill that gap. In this regard, I highly appreciate this initiative of the foundation and the efforts made," the NA Deputy Speaker emphasized.

"Working in the field of technological education for many years has helped us to understand well the problems of the field, especially the problem of access to quality education. Realizing that along with the development of the technological world, it is important that people in Armenia also have the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, we founded the Technological Education Fund", noted the president of the foundation, Levon Tadevosyan.
