Sierra Leone

"Sierra Leone continues to maintain one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. Successive governments have not given education the priority that it deserves. Funding for the education sector continues to be inadequate....The wanton destruction of life and property occasioned by the war has further contributed to the deterioration of the country’s already low educational levels....Of a pre-war population of 4.3 million people, only less than 15% have completed six years of primary school education."
