According to the law of the Republic of Armenia, every child has the right to education. In Armenia, there are twelve years of mandatory school education. Every year, the number of Yezidi attending higher education has failed to exceed 10. Very often, Yezidi children develop issues with functional literacy and learning literary Armenian. Between 40% and 50% of children of school age do not attend high school (from 10-12). Yet, the government is not intervening to resolve this issue.
