Education

The education level is very diverse in relation to the gender. The proportion of illiterate men is relatively low and estimated 8 % for the age between 15 and 49 years. It is estimated at 60 % for the men with an age over 50 years. For women this proportion is higher than 35 % and 95 % respectively for women aged between 15 and 49 years and older women. Less than 50% of the people have a primary education (47 % for men and 43 % for women) and only 4 % got university education for men aged between 15 and 49 years (Picouet, 2003).
