Education in Eritrea

Education in Eritrea is officially compulsory between 7 and 16 years of age.^[1] Important goals of Eritrea's educational policy are to provide basic education in each of Eritrea's mother tongues^[2] as well as to produce a society that is equipped with the necessary skills to function with a culture of self-reliance in the modern economy.^[3] The education infrastructure is currently inadequate to meet these needs.^[1]
