Education in Armenia is held in particular esteem in Armenian culture. Education developed the fastest out of the social services, while health and welfare services attempted to maintain the basic state-planned structure of the Soviet era, following Armenia's independence in 1991.[1] Today, Armenia is trying to implement a new vision for its higher education system while pursuing the goals of the European Higher Education Area.[2] The Ministry of Education and Science oversees education in the country.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)[3] finds that Armenia is fulfilling only 84.9% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to education based on the country's level of income.[4] HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Armenia's income level, the nation is achieving 78.2% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education and 91.6% for secondary education.[5]
