ZAMBIA

Overview

Zambia has roughly equal numbers of girls and boys enrolled in and attending school. But this accomplishment is overshadowed by the total numbers of children who are out of school. Over 30 per cent are missing out on an education, and the average annual rate of increase must rise to 2.39 per cent each year if the MDG is to be met by 2015.
