Task 4 Nicolás

Education in Burkina Faso is divided into primary, secondary and higher education.

However schooling is not free.
Secondary school costs approximately CFA 80 000 ($166 USD) per year, which is far above the means of most Burkinabè families.

Boys receive preference in schooling; as such, girls’ education and literacy rates are far lower than their male counterparts.
An increase in girls’ schooling has been observed due to the government’s policy of making school cheaper for girls and granting them more scholarships.
