##Education reforms discussed in parliament | How bad is it today, and what's the solution?
Deputy Education Minister Joanna Andreasyan: 16%-28% of students lack basic knowledge about decimal fractions and arithmetic operations. 10% scored so low, it was difficult to assess them.
In 2003-2015, 24%-42% of students couldn't pass the lowest threshold in natural sciences. Students don't understand simple concepts such as the flu being a virus, genes transferring from both parents.
##... almost half of 9th graders failed Armenian Language & Literature exams
In 2019, around 20% of university applicants didn't pass the minimum threshold in the Armenian Language exam. It was an improvement from 2015's 30%, but still too high.
While the official stats were showing one thing, the international studies were telling a different story. For example, in 2015-16-17 years, according to official data, only a dozen of 33,000 fourth-grade students failed their final exams. This is why we need to reform the assessment system. We need to revoke the dysfunctional failing grade system and focus on working with the student throughout the year, by using various grading methods. The assessment score shouldn't be just a digit that becomes a matter of "life and death" for the student and parent.
In 2017-2018, only 55% of 9th graders were able to pass the minimum threshold for Armenian Language & Literature final exam. The family's social-financial situation has an impact on the child's education. There is a discrepancy between rural and Yerevan students.
##... 1/3rd of elementary school graduates cannot read and comprehend basic text
... per 2015 international study on natural sciences & math. This is called functional illiteracy. You know the letters and digits, but you can't use them in practice.
##... a good student who graduates 12th grade can realize their potential only at 57% capacity today
We could teach the same materials in 9 years. 3 are gone wasted today.
##... where are all the future teachers at?
Pedagogy is not what our students choose these days. Only 7 students are studying to become physics teachers at the Pedagogy University, 3 for chemistry. Of the annual 21,000 graduates, only 500 want to become pedagogues, while over half of our current teachers are above the age of 50 and will need a replacement within a decade.
Every year, 700 teacher positio

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
And boy are my arms legs.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
They just don’t work!
A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
