Goal 2: Achieve universal primary and secondary education This goal is on track as access to gross enrolment in primary and secondary education on these islands is in theory 100% as a result of compulsory education for the age group 4-18 year olds and as a mandatory youth development program for young adults aged 18-24 who lack appropriate qualifications for the local labor market provides free education for all children and youth. At the secondary level, there is the persistent problem of relatively high dropout rates for all inhabitants of the former Netherlands Antilles for the youth aged 15-24 years old (43.6% in 2001 and 36.5% in 2005). There also appears to be a gender dimension in education as seen through the ‘boy problem’ with the alarming rates of boys who repeat classes, drop out of school and more often score lower levels of educational attainment in comparison to girls. Education provides a basic foundation for the future leaders of any country and in particular for new emerging nations. The youth literacy rate which is defined as the ability to both read and write with understanding a short statement on everyday life, seems to be lacking. Since the youth literacy rate is a reflection of the past 10 years of primary education and can serve as an effective measure of a successful primary education system and a proxy measure of social progress and economic achievements, this should to be reviewed urgently. Part of the problem could be due to differences in school facilities, available resources, and demand on a boy’s time for work, drug related activities and other disincentives. Therefore, it will be timely to address an integrated academic curriculum that incorporates formal and informal education components to be prioritized. Furthermore, the effect of migration where, on an annual basis 300-400 young people migrate to the Netherlands for further studies with a small percentage returning to set up home, has caused brain drain effects on the islands. This poses issues on two angles. For one, it creates a human resource capacity gap in an already volatile capacity area. Secondly, the educational system does not seem to adequately prepare the youth for a holistic integration into the Netherlands and other regions to where they migrate for higher level academic training.
