Education Minister Armen Ashotian insisted on Tuesday that he does not lack trust in Armenia's public education system managed by him despite sending his children to an expensive private school.
Ashotian was visibly annoyed by journalists' questions regarding the school choice as he visited a public school in Yerevan on the first day of the new academic year officially marked in the country as Knowledge Day.
His two young sons, meanwhile, had the first day of school at Ayb, one of the country's most expensive and prestigious private centers for primary and secondary education. The school charges its primary-level students 2.5 million drams ($5,200) per annum, suggesting that Ashotian and his wife pay 5 million drams in tuition fees. The figure equals Ashotian's entire annual salary.
