importance to prolonged public education on environmental issues. It aims at training in environmental knowledge of personality and citizen, environmental education, environmental rooting culture is aimed at forming a correct and competent orientation, attitude and behavior in the field of ecology and natural resources. In content, the law applies to all levels of education and the general population, including the armed forces, and is perhaps the only law in Armenia, really relevant to basic concept of permanent education. Many RA laws contain provisions that are more or less related to the permanent training. The law “On the Rights of the Child” determines a child as any person less than 18 years old and who has the right to education. This law requires the creation of special state agencies, which are necessary for disclosure of the child’s identity, the development of his talent, intellectual and physical capabilities through a network of secondary and special schools, centers for children’s creativity in the field of sport, art and culture, etc. Every child has the right to be introduced to the history of the people, traditions, cultural values, world culture, and the right to creative freedom in the field of aesthetics, science, technology, and to participate in cultural life. These rights, however, can only be realized through additional educational programs. At the same time, according to the Civil Code of the Republic of Armenia, the citizens of 14-18-yearold, though considered minor, may be the subjects of labor and, therefore, obtain vocational, including additional vocational education. Officers and junior officers also have the right to receive an additional vocational education. They are, according to the law “On social security of servicemen and their families” have the right to study on retraining and advanced training. The legislation focuses on the problems of education of the disabled. According to the law “On Social Security Disabled in the Republic of Armenia,” the State shall guarantee the right of persons with disabilities to education and vocational training, as well as preparing necessary special frames for this purpose. At the same time, training and professional development of people with disabilities are carried out in accordance with the individual rehabilitation programs in enterprises (including training and production), organizations and in educational institutions of general type. The law “On social security of children without parental care” is referred to the organization of training. We are talking about an article related to the protection of the legitimate interests of children without parental care, in employment, according to which the trustee organizations can create professional jobs for children without parental care. A special place is occupied by the RA Law “On Trade and Services”, which requires additional education to be presented to employees of catering. In particular, such workers as bartenders, cooks, bakers, and waiters must have a certificate of special training, just in case they do not have special education. In this case it is a question of retraining courses, programs that are aligned with the state authorities in the field of education, trade and services. Non-formal education in the education system of the Republic of Armenia The purpose and benefits The main purpose of non-formal education is finding adequate answers to such challenges in education as the decline of social and political participation, the requirements of the information society, the international integration, activation of the processes of globalization and the deepening of the barriers between the systemic changes in the economy on the one hand and formal education on the other. As a special form of education, non-formal education allows people of different social groups to acquire and develop the skills, abilities and knowledge of the relevant permanently changing requirements and environmental conditions. The purpose of formal education is the development of political, civil, social, economic and cultural participation of the individual in society, his abilities, skills, values and attitudes that are acquired (being developed) outside or within the formal education system. 16
