Some Facts About Schools in Haiti

School in Haiti, according to the Constitution was supposed to be compulsory and free. However, the Haitian government and the Ministry in charge of education are unable to fulfill this obligation. Therefore, the private sector moves in and control 90% of the schools’ enrollment, which cause a high in prices. Thus, many parents are unable to send their kids to school and the results of this issue are heartbroken. Approximately 33% of children ages 6-12 do not attend school, and this percentage climbs to 40% for children ages 5 to 15 which accounts for approximately one million children. The dropout rate is particularly high at 29% in the first basic cycle. Close to 60% of children drop out of school before receiving their primary education certificate.
