      What’s crazy is I looked into it some time ago, and the tuition for some of these private schools is significantly higher than international American/British private schools in Georgia and Cyprus.

      As a 12th grader at public school I am more than sure they are doing a right thing. There is absolutely no way your children will learn English at school without any tutoring outside the school. Also, we don’t choose any elective classes or art classes. We are required to study everything no matter what’s our track( for instance, I study at physmath track, but still take Armenian Language, History, Russian, Social Science etc). And it’s harder to get into US universities with Armenian public school diploma. Education is important, and if in the future I stay in Armenia, I would send my children to private schools.

      I hope this forces the quality of public schools to go up, however the price for private school is staggering. Private Armenian schools in the ME cost around 1500-2000$ if i remember correctly + you get financial assistance, say you’re poor, or your child has high grades.
      9000$ is staggering, Yes there are private schools in the 1000-1500$ range in Armenia, unfortunately they’re just as bad, in my experience.

      I used to go to Ayb, the school in the thumbnail. I went to an Armenian public school as well, and I can say for certain that the approach of the teachers in Ayb is very different. They actually give a shit, they’re (for the most part) passionate about what they do. Of course, there’s a noticable difference in the quality of the environment as well. There’s nutritious food, nice buildings, and a general caring atmosphere.

      At the same time, it’s in terrible condition. The high school students are over-pressured. I know several people who were suicidal or suffered mentally because of the stress at that school. Parents also aren’t confident in the AB diploma it offers, as there are risks of it losing its status as a valid diploma in Armenia soon. Overall, it’s a mess.

      It’s very interesting reading from the article as the main issue seems to be the methodology of teaching and school environment rather than the quality of dispensed educational material, per say. And I actually kind of agree because state schools suffer from the soviet style prison-like structuring and this kind of environment is just not encouraging nor is it adapted any longer to today’s world.
