On one hand, extreme poverty forces families to prioritize immediate needs, relegating the education of their children to a secondary position. The lack of stable employment opportunities and economic hardships drive numerous children to work in order to contribute to the family income, thereby sacrificing their education.
On the other hand, the government’s efforts to improve the educational system are hindered by budgetary constraints, leaving large segments of the children and the youth without access to quality education. These deficiencies fuel a vicious cycle of vulnerability and lack of skills, compromising the socio-economic development of the country.
