In other words, newly built schools and any newly built building express a change in thinking. This shows the transformation that is taking place in our thinking, which should thus be reflected in our children. In fact, the new school, new buildings, new standards, the teacher certification system, in general, express our new thinking, and school in this sense is about our new ways of thinking,” the Prime Minister said, emphasizing the need to continue this process of school construction.

In this context, Nikol Pashinyan once again expressed his gratitude to all citizens working, creating results, and paying taxes in the Republic of Armenia, because all this is, first of all, due to their work. “Everything I talked about, any property, salary, is formed as a result of the work of these people. And it is very important that we show this appreciation. I would also like to thank all our colleagues who have worked, are working and will work so that this result does not remain static, but develops, brings new results and development to the Republic of Armenia.” The Prime Minister once again congratulated those present, first of all the students, and emphasized that this new school also expresses the love of the Government of the Republic of Armenia for them. “With this, we express our love for you, so that you study in a school that you love and there you feel that your state, your homeland loves you. And with this mutual love, the citizen and the state should be forever connected to each other.”
