Twenty one village schools will be built in Armenia next year, said Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Arayik Harutyunyan at a meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

According to him, schools will be built in different areas and the idea is unprecedented in scope.

Pashinyan noted that the remote villages are a common problem in Armenia as well the problem that there are few students in the schools.

Arayik Harutyunyan noted that the problem has several solution models, one of them is distance education and another one is to bring together students of the same age from several villages.
