The children were very enthusiastic and happily recounted of their 8,000AMD profit in selling their hand made Christmas ornaments and using the money to buy supplies for their class.
As of September 2018, entrepreneurship is being tested in one class of 2nd and 3rd graders in all schools of Armenia. In this connection, JAA trained over 1400 teachers and created the materials for the students. If the project is accepted, as of September 2019, all 2nd and 3rd graders will take part in the new curriculum.
