education

• 7.3% of batey residents receive education beyond primary school (13)



• Those with access study in multi-grade classrooms with inadequate resources, large classes, teacher shortages, and curricula that disregard the batey's cultural diversity (11)



• 34.5% of residents older than 15 years old do not read and write (13)

"Access to education is [hard]. Where state primary schools exist, Dominican-Haitian children with proper documentation attend. Children of Haitian parents who have not been registered as Dominican citizens are denied access."
