From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
