Even though the number of students assisting and finishing primary school has increased significantly in the last years, our children are still far from attaining the school level our constitution requires and from demonstrating a satisfactory learning level. On the other hand, there are still serious equity gaps and although efforts are being made to improve teacher training, their knowledge remains deficient.
