(c) Increase the completion rate of primary education and ensure that primary education always be free of charge

Education leads to decreased infant mortality

The highest enrolment rate is in pre primary education and vocational education has the highest drop out rate (Figure 30).

In specialized education, the parity rate was inverted in favour of girls.

The drop out rate from general education schools has been fairly stable.

This shows that student teacher ratio at the primary and high school levels was better for boys and at the middle level it is in favour of the girls.

The gains are much higher for skilled workers, so the mobility rate increases with education.

Consequently, it had already achieved the Goal for primary education, with a net enrolment of 98.3 per cent.

The ratio of boys and girls, although equal at the beginning level of schooling, drops after the middle grades.

However, the school dropout rate is high at the secondary level, where Kokborok has yet to be used as a language of instruction.

Inequitable and low levels of access to education low enrolment rates for girls, and persistent disparities between girls and boys.

The cost of achieving the Millennium Development Goals include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger (Goal 1) achieving universal primary education (Goal 2) eliminating gender disparity at all levels of education (Goal 3) reducing child mortality (Goal 4) and reducing maternal mortality (Goal 5).

It is also important to focus efforts on other related issues, such as the quality of education, lack of retention, the high rate of repetition of school years and difficulty of access in remote areas, and so on.

Primary school enrolment in Kenya has also increased tremendously due to the implementation of free primary education programmes in the last two years.

Reduction in maternal mortality is dependent on a woman's access to education, her nutritional status and, in general, on improvements in her quality of life.

The documents that the Special Rapporteur consulted also show that public spending on education for indigenous children is generally lower than for other sectors of the population, that teachers of indigenous children tend to receive lower pay and incentives than do other teachers and that their level of preparation is also below average.

The 2004 2007 Education Plan therefore aims to achieve a net enrolment rate of 75 per cent at the pre primary and 100 per cent at the primary school level.

The difference in higher education enrolments can be explained by military service for men right after secondary school.

Because of the Soviet Union's emphasis on total access of education for all citizens, which continues today, the literacy rate is an estimated 99.4 .

The degree of illiteracy, poor academic achievement and poor school attendance, especially at the middle school and higher levels, tends to be higher among indigenous peoples than in the rest of the population.

In secondary education, the enrolment rate for girls is slightly higher than the rate for boys, but access for both groups is very limited.

A basic step towards improving the status of women would be to reduce illiteracy among women and ensure they had equal access to education.

Managing to halve poverty and provide universal access to primary education by 2015 was a daunting challenge.

Evidence from the country's three most deprived regions shows that the enrolment rate of girls is increasing at a faster rate than that of boys, suggesting that progress is being made towards the achievement of gender parity in education.

Whatever the education level, the French unemployment rate is two to three times higher among immigrants and their descendants than among the general population.

In spite of the high rate of illiteracy among the older groups, current indicators state that the education level of women dramatically increases.

Guatemala is therefore close to achieving gender parity in access to primary education (parity rate of 0.95 in 2004).

A more general comment about the little participation of the girls, the dropouts and performance point to the following There is more than sufficient evidence pointing to the fact that that the best participation of children in primary education is shown where the teachers are female.

The percentages do not improve in secondary school, although the percentage of students who receive the Brevet d'Etude du Premier Cycle (School leaving certificate) and the Baccalauréat (High school diploma) is slightly higher than the percentage of students who pass into Grade Six and receive the Certificat de Fin d'Etude du Premier Degré (Primary school diploma).

Since 1991 enrolment of girls in primary education has reached 48 per cent matching the ratio of boys to girls in the general population at that age.

The problem is not that Japanese women lack opportunities for higher education the university enrollment rate for 18 year old women already exceeded that of men in 2005.

Currently, for instance, the literacy rate of Cuban youth stands at 99.96 per cent, access to all levels of education is free and universal, and full employment has been reached following strenuous efforts to qualify and integrate young people who have had no access to education and jobs.

Based on the mother's level of education, the greatest reductions in child mortality were recorded among women with access to secondary education, where the decline was 67 per cent, while for women with no education the reduction was only 26 per cent, over the same period.

In education there are at least three major gender issues namely the high illiteracy rate of women low enrollment and participation of female students at higher educational levels and in the choice of technical disciplines and gender bias in school textbooks.

The government is struggling to upgrade education and technical training, to privatize commercial and industrial enterprises, to improve health services, to diversify exports, to promote tourism, and to reduce the high population growth rate.

be possible to achieve the targets for reduction of infant malnutrition, gender equality in primary education, and reduction of infant and under 5 mortality rates.

The average temperature is lower than that of the country, the average humidity is higher (7 800 mm year.

The mother's educational level is another very important factor in reducing the rate of global malnutrition with the incidence being 30 per cent for the children of mothers with no education and approximately 9 per cent for the children of mothers with a high school education.

Emphasizing that increased access to education, including in the areas of sexual and reproductive health, for young people especially girls dramatically lowers their vulnerability to preventable diseases, in particular HIV infection and sexually transmitted diseases,

The aim of creating the councils is to intensify social work among girls, instill leadership qualities in them, and do work to bring more girls of school age into the education system.

The literacy rate was expected to increase to 63 per cent. Another objective of the plan was free primary education for all, free textbooks to girl students and scholarships for lower caste (dalit) and disadvantaged children.

ABR Available bit rate a minimum guaranteed rate is specified.

Second, the rate of increase is double for women compared to that of men.

The United Kingdom's assumed high literacy rate (99 at age 15 and above) is attributable to universal public education introduced for the primary level in 1870 (Scotland 1872, free 1890) and secondary level in 1900.

Truly speaking, some efforts are being made to maintain girls at primary level in school, in order to reduce the dropout rate, and maintain them to, at least, conclude Grade 7, or basic education.
