Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan’s Knowledge Day-Dated Congratulatory Message
Dear Schoolchildren, Students, Parents and Teachers,
I cordially congratulate you on the Day of Knowledge. I wish a green path to our first-graders and those teenagers who were admitted to higher educational institutions in the new academic year. There are many exciting events and landmarks awaiting you ahead. Try to use them as efficiently as possible.
Teachers are among the main heroes of the day as they have a great role to play in the noble cause of educating and upbringing our children. It is up to the teacher to decide what kind of knowledge a child will be given, which moral principles will lead them in life, how competitive and up-to-date they will be in the modern world and which way they will treat their country.
We all used to be pupils at one time and still remember our beloved teachers to whom we are grateful for what they have given us.
I want to express my immense respect and gratitude to our teachers for their work, wishing them robust health, patience, optimism and happiness.
I want you to rest assured that we will do our best to ensure that the teacher is the most protected and appreciated person in Armenia, realizing that whatever we do, we owe it to you. Forever!
