Education In Honduras Information
Education in Honduras is free and compulsory for six years.[1] In 1999, the gross primary enrollment rate was 97.3 percent and the net primary enrollment rate was 85.7 percent.[1] Among working children, an estimated 34 percent complete primary school.[1] A lack of schools prevents many children in Honduras from receiving an education, as do costs such as enrollment fees, school uniforms, and transportation costs.[1] In 1998, Hurricane Mitch damaged more than 3,000 schools nationwide.[1] The poor quality of education and the lack of vocational education are other education concerns.[1]
There was no proper educational system before the 1950's and the education reforms of the 1950's meant that by 1957 schools were no longer available to the wealthy, but costs are a problem to this day. [2]
