99% of Canadians of primary school age
went to primary school in 2006, and 89%
to secondary (high school). This is in
sharp contrast to Guatemala, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia where
94%, 75%, 98% and 92% (respectively) went to primary
school, and 38%, 42%, 5% and 23% (respectively) went to secondary school. The largest
barriers to obtaining an education in
developing countries are availability and
affordability. (data taken from UNESCO
Institute for Statistics - where certain
data was missing, we used data from
previous years).
Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania started providing
free primary schooling in 2003 and fees
for secondary schooling are still very
high in comparison to family income. You
will notice a large drop from primary
(grade 8 and lower) to secondary (grade
9 and up) enrollment. HYTES is currently
focusing on scholarships for secondary
schooling.
