This country is so trapped by myths and superstition that it's no wonder their education system gets poor grades. Not to mention they allow anyone to drop out after grade 9. And nothing will change as long as the people in charge first reaction is to question the survey methodology (stop blaming the messenger). This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time the education system in this country has been criticized. Wake up or stay dumb it seems. You want to solve... Make education free for all through grade 12, build better schools, hire better teachers (and stop blindly praising them just because they are teachers - most are mediocre at best), and use better text books.
