Welcoming the participants of the Event, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan touched upon the conceptual issues that should stem from the best interests of the child, considering in that context the need to work with pedagogical and parental communities. Zh. Andreasyan emphasized the need to ensure an inclusive environment in educational institutions, highlighting the importance of addressing issues appropriately and formulating actions in a logical and coherent manner. The Minister also attached importance to continuous dialogue and interaction with stakeholders, as well as the collection of information through feedback, which is aimed at identifying current problems in the field of education and improving mechanisms for solving them. “Developed guidelines, manuals, and workbooks are precisely the tools that make everyday work more comprehensible, systematic, and, in terms of results, more predictable.”
