I would be very interested to know what actually is included in the test for the Armenian language. Does it all correspond to the SAT tests we had to take years ago for college admission? I do agree that the education system in Armenia today is in desperate need of overhaul and modernization. It seems that little has changed in the system of rote learning that I experienced back in the 1970's at YSU. You listened, took exhaustive notes and regurgitated it all back at exam time. Exchange between instructor and student was practically non-existant. I pity the senseless death of this girl and the callousness of those responsible for preparing the test.
