Education in Burundi:
With
still sub standard literacy levels, education faces major problems
in Burundi. Civil wars and political instability have greatly
hampered the development of education systems in the Country.
It is estimated
that only about a half of the Country’s population can read
and write.
The education sector in the Country also has
to operate on limited government funding. There is also a shortage
of teaching
staff and problems with the Country’s education syllabus.
UNESCO is currently running programs to assist with the development
and provision of education in Burundi.
The University of Bujumbura is the sole institute of higher
learning in the Country.
