Comments:
- Completion rate for girls consistently lower than that for boys (p.47)
- High dropout rates from grade level to grade level
- At the JHS level, many children are attracted to the informal labour market when they reach
the age where they are expected to contribute to family income or fend for themselves (p.49)
- Tertiary enrolments increased tenfold from about 10,000 in 1990/91 to about 100,000 in
2008.
