Education

Efforts have been made to implement free primary school education in countries such as Kenya. Yet as of 2005, 40% of school-aged children in Africa still do not attend primary school and 46 million children that have never stepped into a classroom.*

Over 55% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa continues to be illiterate and the disparity between citizens and government is not facilitating a lot of progress. This is especially true among tribes and rural areas where tradition presides over government initiatives.
