This year, the vocational training opportunities have been expanded for vocational art education, with a total of 19 accreditations being granted.

Minister Andreyasyan expressed his congratulations to the participants for being the pioneers of the accreditation process. He acknowledged the challenges and importance of this step, stating that by applying for accreditation, the teachers not only achieved personal success and professional development but also contributed to the implementation and improvement of the program. Their experience and success will serve as an inspiration to other kindergarten teachers in the field.

As a result of the meeting, the kindergarten teachers provided valuable feedback, suggestions, and proposals on various aspects of the programs, including remuneration, the quality of tests, deadlines for vocational literature provision, and defined standards. Minister Andreyasyan expressed his gratitude for their input and ensured that their suggestions will be taken into account during the ongoing improvement processes.
