The result
36% of Haitian schooled children drop out of
school before reaching 6th grade.
There are 4 times more students per teacher
in public classrooms in Haiti than in public
elementary schools in the US.
Lack of professional teachers, lack of
training, insufficient structure, lack of
nutrition and funds in the educational
system are among the key drivers of the
education crisis.
In the past five decades the extreme
shortage of skilled teachers has lead to
extremely high illiteracy rates for Haiti,
leading to an eventual unqualified
workforce and leadership.
A nation cannot progress without
educated and analytical citizens who
question and change the status quo.
