Education in Ecuador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ecuadorian Constitution requires that all children attend school until
they achieve a “basic level of education,” which is estimated at nine school
years.[1]
In 1996, the net primary enrollment rate was 96.9 percent, and 71.8 percent of
children stayed in school until the fifth grade.[1]
Primary school attendance rates were unavailable for Ecuador as of 2001.[1]
While enrollment rates indicate a level of commitment to education, they do not
always reflect children’s participation in school.[1]
The cost of primary and secondary education is borne by the government, but
families often face significant additional expenses such as fees and
transportation costs.[1]
In 2000, government spending on education continued to decline, both in real
terms and as a proportion of GDP.[1]
