The article examines the current state and material-technical provision of technology classrooms in Armenian general education schools. Data from schools in Yerevan and various regions are presented, covering woodworking and metalworking workshops, necessary equipment, machinery, cutting/measuring tools, and safety resources. The study reveals that most schools lack sufficient material-technical resources, and existing workshops are often dilapidated or lack qualified instructors to conduct effective lessons. The research analyzes key challenges, potential risks, and provides recommendations to improve teaching quality and learning outcomes, including the introduction of modernized equipment, automation systems, and comprehensive maintenance plans. Fully equipped and modernized workshops allow teachers to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, fostering students’ creative thinking, technical abilities, and hands-on competencies while ensuring a safe and efficient learning environment. The article emphasizes that improving the material-technical base is essential for the effective implementation of the “Technology” curriculum. Enhancing resources supports the development of students’ problem-solving skills, practical thinking, and understanding of mechanical and artistic processes. The findings highlight the importance of continuous investment in school workshops to ensure that students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in technology education.
