YEREVAN. – Due to the high tuition fees in the universities of Armenia, the students are having conflicts with the lecturers.

Public Council Subcommittee on Youth Affairs member Arman Ghazaryan noted the abovementioned during a press conference on Saturday.

“Many [university] students [in Armenia] work to pay [their] tuition fees. But it is very difficult to work all day and to study at the same time. Hence, the quarrel with the lecturers, who suggest to choose between work and study. But if the student does not work, he will not even be able to pay [the tuition fee],” Ghazaryan said.

In the words of chairwoman Hripsime Margaryan of the aforesaid subcommittee, the activists will continue to keep the focus on this matter until an acceptable solution is found.    

“But boycotting classes is unacceptable; a student comes to university to study,” Margaryan added.
