Primary school enrollment rates have surged, yet the quality of education services and learning outcomes remain poor, with only 38 percent of children aged 9–13 able to read or do arithmetic at the second grade level.

Poor motivation and lack of accountability have contributed to the high absenteeism and commensurate loss of instructional time.
