According to Serine Avetisyan, Executive Director of the Friends of the PhysMath School charitable foundation, Armenia’s future leaders in science and technology begin taking shape during their school years. She said the goal is to create an educational environment where every talented child, regardless of where they live, can unlock and fulfill their potential.
