VivaCell-MTS acknowledges the importance of education as the basis for social and economic development, further development of national identity, fostering productivity culture and supporting the harmonious development of the society, in general. Education is a basic precondition to achieving these outcomes, based on the opportunity made available to people to self-actualize themselves in different spheres of life by living in their Motherland as opposite to “brain-drain” from the country. Quality education is a prerequisite to developing competitive advantage and being part of value-creation chain internationally.

“Providing quality education is investment in the future. Education is a tool to manage one’s own destiny. The opposite of it is letting life and circumstances to make choices instead of the individual and Nation, in general. Education is a means to developing individuality and creative thinking. That’s why we have chosen it to be one of the important areas of social investment by VivaCell-MTS,” the Company’s General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.
