Dear representatives of the Armenian State Pedagogical University,
The year 2024 is drawing to an end, and we will turn another page in our chronicle. The world is in a struggle against alarms, challenges and a fight now more than ever; this is expressed in all sectors, including education. Not being detached from reality, in the passing year, the Armenian State Pedagogical University faced hardships and made major achievements. The University carried out several scientific, educational, training and international programs that are aimed at improving the quality of education of future teachers and accomplishing the sublime mission of an educator.
The end of the year serves as a unique occasion to recap the achievements and build the new on that strong bedrock, to set a new and higher bar so that we are ready to withstand the demands in the sector of higher education. This modus operandi is the imperative of the day for us.
As we approach the end of the year, let us once again recall that teachers have played an exclusive and indispensable role in the lives of each and every one of us, and let us aspire to carry out — for the coming generations — the important task of revaluing teachers and appreciating their good reputation and dedicated efforts.
The New Year is an occasion to not only recap the passing year, but also to predetermine the actions for the year to come. Let each of us set for ourselves a priority to have a high sense of responsibility for education and work. It is the educated and intelligent generations that helped lead the Armenian people to the 21st century — let us multiply our efforts and continue this course.
May the world and our country be in peace, secure, have steadfast will and unwavering faith in 2025. Happy New Year and Holy Nativity! I wish peace, health, love, happiness, happy days and achievements.
