Chess in Education Conference - Tsaghkadzor |
|
Mardi, 18 Juin 2019 14:03 |
 The 2019 Chess in Education conference in Tsaghkadzor, Armenia was an important event.
What was special? Aside from many significant presentations, there were representatives from several Ministries of Education.
Usually, attendees are already involved in the field, but getting the involvement of Ministers, Secretaries and other representatives from national Educational authorities is essential if we are to succeed in our objective of using chess as an educational tool - something to improve educational outcomes, not something dedicated to producing chess players.
