Our Mission
Our Activities
The “Center of Educational Research and Consulting” operates since March 2012 providing a plethora of research services in Armenia. The Center was founded by sociologist Marina Galstyan, whose professional expertise and practice in the development, organization and implementation of sociological and educational research served as a cornerstone for monitoring systemic needs of the education sector and educational institutions in Armenia. The idea of the Center was, hence, rooted in the need for a research based inquiry of barriers adherent to the field of education in Armenia. Along with educational reforms, the growing number of identified challenges required continuous intervention and care. The Center built its mission around these needs with an aim to provide quality professional support and advisory services to all stakeholders - institutions, expert bodies and other key players in the field of education - while advocating for evidence-based decision making.
