Micro-Qualification։ International Educational Program in Armenia

“Micro-credentials for Higher Education systems of Georgia and Armenia: South Caucasus lighthouse project”

The Erasmus+ MICRO-GEAR program was introduced a public TV 1 channel, aiming to bring new micro-credentials to the educational sector of Armenia. Lilit Sahakyan, Director of CENS, explained the essence of micro-credentials, discussed upcoming courses, and emphasized the need for legislative changes essential for the successful implementation of this initiative.

Micro-credentials  is a short course designed to offer specialized educational programs within the framework of continuous education. To integrate this micro-credentials into Armenia's higher education system, legislative changes are needed.

As part of the project, CENS plans to develop a micro-credentials course in environmental sciences. Lilit Sahakyan highlighted the importance of starting this course, noting that the field of environmental sciences has been remained open both scientifically and professionally due to the inflexibility of current legislation regarding the integration of new professions.
