CIS Member State CoE Member State The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia (MoESCS) (Armenian: Կրթության, գիտության, մշակույթի և սպորտի նախարարություն) is the Armenian state body of executive authority, which elaborates and implements the policies set out by the Government of Armenia in the education, science, culture, sports and youth policy sectors.

[5] Beginning with the First Republic, the Ministry was formed on 24 July 1918 when the National Council released the composition of the Supreme Executive Body.

This structure would follow into the Soviet period, when by decree of the ASSR Revolutionary Council the People's Commissariat of Enlightenment was established.

Another ASSR Supreme Council decision in late 1990 led to the split into the Ministry of Enlightenment and State Committee for Higher Education and Science.

Ultimately only being established in 1953 during the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, its sectors of authority and structure predated this formation.
