In Haiti most schools rely on school fees to operate.
Of the 88% of Haitian schools not run by the government, one-fifth receive government money. The majority of schools are funded by school fees which remain unaffordable for most families. More than half the population lives in poverty. Haiti, with a population of 10 million people, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Half of primary school children drop out of school. A vast number of children leave the system before completing even their basic education. Only 50% of children starting in grade 1 complete grade 6. |
