On April 10, the research team members of Center for Educational Research and Consulting, Marina Galstyan and Arevik Hambardzumyan, met with Zara Aslanyan, Head of the Youth Policy Development Department at the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, and Armenuhi Petrosyan, Deputy Head of the Department. The goal of the meeting was to present the main results of the research conducted by the Center on the Armenian youth, as well as to discuss their practical purpose in the context of developing a state youth policy. We are currently working on analysing the research results, and the suggestions presented during the meeting will also be taken into account.

During the discussion, the main trends in the life of young people, existing problems and the dynamics of needs were presented, which can serve as a basis for the youth policy development in Armenia.

We thank our partners for the fruitful discussion.
