Russian has the status of a foreign language in Armenia, but in the Armenian educational system it has always been assigned the role of compulsory study. Starting this year, changes are being introduced in Armenian schools, News.Az reports citing Sputnik Armenia .

In Armenia, new state educational standards for schools came into force in the 2024-2025 academic year. Back in the summer, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia sent out a circular to all schools regarding the teaching of foreign languages.

In the state standard, Russian remains the first and mandatory foreign language to study.

At the same time, 2 hours a week are allocated for each foreign language.
