As of 2015, the country’s literacy rate stands at 60.7%, and only 57% for women. In comparison, the average literacy rate for the region is 90%. According to a 2016 USAID fact sheet, primary school education enrollment in Haiti is at 75%, nearly half of all second graders can not read a single word, more than 85% of all primary schools are privately managed, and close to 80% of teachers do not have the appropriate training. This is a recipe for disaster. Yet, there is no urgency to fix this educational injustice.
