Education in Grenada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Education in Grenada is free and compulsory between the ages of 6 and 14 years.^[1] In 1998, the gross primary enrollment rate was 125.5 percent, while the net primary enrollment rate was 97.5 percent.^[1] Despite the high enrollment rate, poverty, poor school facilities, and the periodic need to help with family farm harvests have resulted in approximately a 7 percent absenteeism rate among primary school children.^[1]
