Think-Tank & Assessment

Society decisions are based on data and the scientific method. ASOF’s Bylaws establish an Assessment Committee is to produce a series of reports:

❖ An initial report on past Diaspora-Armenia engagements, and recommendations based on these experiences.

❖ Another report will assess the state and needs of Armenia’s current education system, and develop a set of recommendations for modernizing it, to help transform it into an engine that produces world-class professionals – from the elementary schools to graduate programs, in a comprehensive manner and through a coordinated approach.

❖ Future reports will continually assess the Society’s work and impact, and provide recommendations for needed adjustments.

❖ In this mode of operation, The Society is used as an advocacy group, to pitch recommendations to the relevant stakeholders and to introduce into public discourse the discussion of topics related to reports the organization produces.
