LEGISLATIVE REFORMS IN THE FINANCING OF NON-FORMAL EDUCATION

Financing non-formal education requires special approaches. This form of education accompanies an individual throughout his or her life and, therefore, can lead to financial obstacles in the event of payments. However, on the other hand, in addition to individual students, non-formal education also has public and private beneficiaries who can financially support the sustainable development of supplementary education. The article discusses the responses to non-formal education in the legislative field of the Republic of Armenia and, based on this, makes proposals for strengthening the legislative norms for the establishment of the financing mechanisms for this form of education. In particular, it is proposed to legislatively form a national fund for financing non-formal education on the principle of participation of beneficiaries, which ensures the availability of financial resources for organizing additional education in the country.
