EXPANSION INTO VAYOTS DZOR
In 2022 , we expanded our Teacher Leadership Program to the Vayots Dzor region , achieving our goal to operate in every region of Armenia and Artsakh . Ten new Teacher-Leaders were placed in schools in the communities of Agarakadzor , Aghnjadzor , Areni , Azatek , Herher , Khachik , Vernashen , Yeghegnadzor , and Bardzruni in Vayots Dzor , which took on a heightened level of strategic importance due to the region ' s shared border with Azerbaijan . Our decision to work in these communities despite ongoing military tension is a demonstration of our unwavering commitment to providing quality education to all children in Armenia and Artsakh , and the strength of our collective leadership .
“ We recognize that education is the cornerstone of a prosperous and thriving society , and it is our schools that play a critical role in shaping the future of our nation . Our universities provide the necessary technical skills , but it is the schools that instill the values and knowledge that create well-educated and well-rounded professionals . We acknowledge that nurturing our young generations requires the expertise and dedication of specialized professionals , which is why we welcome Teach For Armenia with open arms . By working together , we can ensure that our children receive the best education possible and are prepared to take on the challenges of the future .”
