The podcast explores the shortcomings of Armenia's current education system, highlighting a mismatch between university curricula and market demands, particularly in the IT sector. It argues that the system's focus on obtaining diplomas rather than acquiring deep knowledge has resulted in a "talent crisis". The author proposes a reimagining of Armenia's educational model, advocating for innovative approaches that leverage the nation's history, adaptability, and the potential of the diaspora to create a globally competitive workforce. This involves moving away from standardised testing and towards a system that fosters critical thinking and creativity. Finally, the text emphasises the importance of individual responsibility in achieving success, alongside systemic reform.
