Starting Higher Education from Zero


A scientific degree should be awarded only for scientific novelty, but the vast majority of scientific degrees awarded worldwide are not awarded for scientific novelty. Hakob Madoyan believes that our higher education lacks the ability to proceed from the internal logic of the content. If we proceed from the content, the organizational method will come by itself. But approaching it from the opposite side, we will kill the content. Anna Sargsyan continues to talk about the content and structure of higher education with Candidate of Philosophical Sciences Hakob Madoyan.

What is higher education


It is necessary to distinguish between those professions that are fundamental and those that are auxiliary. Hakob Madoyan believes that now, in the changed world, the terms of 3 or 4 years for a bachelor's degree and 1 or 2 years for a master's degree are already outdated. There are professions for which a bachelor's degree should be 5, 6, 7 years. There are professions for which a master's degree should be 2, 3, 4 years, because scientific information has expanded so much that it takes more time to master it. Anna Sargsyan talked about the content and structure of higher education with Hakob Madoyan, candidate of philosophical sciences.

Political semester. Part 1


In the first half of the year, the main topic of the political agenda was the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and, in that context, the so-called peace agenda with its consequences.
Anna Sargsyan discussed the most colorful topics of the political palette with knowledgeable specialists in the "3rd Millennium" pavilion, where we present the best ideas in one breath.    
So: 
The government proposed to replace the name of the subject "Armenian History" with "History of Armenians ". 
Individual representatives of the ruling power on various occasions questioned the meaning of the existence of the state. 
As a result of the establishment's policies, there may be a Republic of Armenia, but not an Armenian state. 
The Artsakh war obviously affected the national behavior of the Armenian society and its manifestations are tangible. 
The Armenian government continued to meet the demands of Azerbaijan, advancing the concessionary policy.
Immediately after the war, Azerbaijan, at the state level, started to destroy the Armenian traces in Artsakh.
After the war, the Society lost faith in its resources, as a result of which the consequences of defeat are more devastating.
After the forced deportation from Artsakh, our compatriots found themselves in the status of "familiar foreigners" in Armenia.
The main narrative of the political authorities after the war is that the events happening with Armenia are inevitable.
