So I stopped doing jobs without pay. The age of CEG students varies because of strikes and repeating classes. It is roughly between 12 and 18. Lycee is high school. Published literacy statistics are misleading.
Literacy is determined two different ways.
Everyone who is in school, or who has gone to school for even a few years, is considered literate, no test given. That is where most of the statistics come from. People who go through the government literacy centers are given a passage to read, but the test is faulty. No time limit, no comprehension questions. Most students were highly motivated, and wrote well in spite of the bad conditions.
