The current situation in Artsakh is a violation of children's fundamental rights, including the right to education
Due to the current situation in Artsakh, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia is in constant contact with the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Armenia.
Zhanna Andreasyan, RA Minister of Education and Culture, discussed the issue of providing education for the children of Artsakh with Hasmik Minasyan, Acting Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Armenia. Currently, around 22,000 children in Artsakh are deprived of their right to education due to the lack of heating. About 300 children from Artsakh are in the Republic of Armenia and cannot return to their families due to the closure of the Goris-Stepanakert road.
To ensure the continuity of children's education in Armenia, work is being done with the regional administration of Syunik to organize their classes in local schools temporarily.
The current situation is a humanitarian crisis and a violation of children's fundamental rights, including the right to education.
Corresponding letters were sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, and the head of UNESCO.
