Education in Central African Republic

Public education is free and education is compulsory from ages 6 to 14. However, gross primary enrollment is only 56.9 percent.

The Central African Republic has been at the center of conflict and that has affected its education system. Only half of girls aged between 15 and 24 are literate, and outside NGOs and world organizations are working hard to improve the infrastructure and system. The system has also been affected by AIDS-related deaths, particularly among teachers. This has led to massive school closures.

Also note that many schools are operated by religious communities.
