100% of Canadians of primary school age
went to primary school in 2002/2003, and 98%
to secondary (high school). This is in
sharp contrast to Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania where
66%, 68% and 69% (respectively) went to primary
school, and 25%, 23% and 5% went to secondary. The largest
barriers to obtaining an education in
Kenya and Tanzania are availability and
affordability. (data taken from UNESCO
Institute for Statistics - where certain
data was missing, we used data from the
previous year)
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 and may move into helping tertiary
(post-secondary) students in the next
five years.
