Education in Armenia - Student Absenteeism

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.
