Student Absenteeism
According to two studies carried out with the help of UNICEF – "Child Labour in Armenia" and "School Wastage Focusing on Student Absenteeism in Armenia" – a rapidly growing student absenteeism and drop out rate are closely linked to child labor as well as the quality of education in Armenia. Between 2002 and 2005 school dropout rates grew at the rate of 250% a year. In 2002-2003 total dropouts were 1,531 students; in 2004-2005 this number increased to 7,630.

Famous quotes containing the word student:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
