From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Education in São Tomé and Príncipe is compulsory for four years.[1] Primary school enrollment and attendance rates were unavailable for São Tomé and Principe as of 2001.[1] The educational system has a shortage of classrooms, insufficiently trained and underpaid teachers, inadequate textbooks and materials, high rates of repetition, poor educational planning and management, and a lack of community involvement in school management.[1] Domestic financing of the school system is lacking, leaving the system highly dependent on foreign financing.[1]
