Education

Schooling is compulsory and free for all 7 to 14 year olds in Venezuela. Secondary schools, however, are less developed and have a high dop-out rate with fewer than 50% of students completing their secondary education.

The country has some 20,000 elementary schools, over 2,000 secondary and technical schools and more than 30 institutes of further education.

Adult literacy amongst Venezuelans currently stands at 92% and is steadily increasing.
