• Average number of years completed is 6.• In 1996, the net primary enrollment rate was 96.9%, and
71.8% of children stayed in school until fifth grade. • Cost of education is borne by the government. Provision of public schools falls far below the levels
needed and class sizes are large. In rural areas, only 10% of the children go on to high
school.
