A Monument dedicated to the Honored Pedagogue Rima Khachatryan

The monument is called “The woman looking from the sky”. The author of the marble composition opened in Yerevan is the famous sculptor and RA honored artist David Minasyan. From now on, generations can pay their tribute to the honored teacher next to this monument.

For 55 years Rima Khachatryan worked in Yerevan Basic Medical College. For her significant contribution to the development of the nursery education system in Armenia Rima Khachatryan was awarded with national and trade union medals and appreciation certificates.

She authored two textbooks for the students of medical colleges, namely the two-volume “Inorganic Chemistry” and “Analytical Chemistry”, that continue to be key learning resources in almost ten medical colleges in the country. For five decades she led the trade union of the college – a record leadership experience in itself. You can find unique and motivating stories about her life, relationships and work experience in “Munich. The Last Station” book.
