Within the framework of the project “Modernizing Vocational Education and Training in Agriculture in Armenia” (MAVETA), we continue to promote the development of agricultural sector.

On the eve of the new academic year, “Strategic Development Agency” (SDA) NGO, within the framework of the MAVETA project, equipped Stepanavan State Agricultural College and Berd State Multifunctional College with new computers.

Due to the provided technical support, the teachers will be able to organize the teaching process by using more creative and interactive techniques, and by using these computers the college students will have an opportunity to improve their knowledge and skills to become more competitive specialists in the labor market.
