Education in Haiti: Is It an Exclusive Privilege?

Quality education shapes the learners of today to become the pioneers of tomorrow. However, children in underprivileged communities, especially those in Haiti, have no access to study under an effective curriculum. Is education in Haiti a privilege enjoyed by the few? Allow us at BETHESDA COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN SERVICES, a dedicated Non-profit Organization in Haiti, to walk you through the factors affecting the accessibility of proper education for the underprivileged.

• The Need for Education
  Countless parents in Haiti are still urging their children to pursue education. However, the availability of schools, supplies, and teachers cannot rise to the community’s high demands. Since most families can only earn to satiate their basic needs, enrolling at a public school usually becomes their children’s sole option for education.
• The Lack of Schools
  Public schools allow students to receive their needed learning regardless if the learner is from a poverty-stricken household. However, attending school doesn’t guarantee a child receives proper teaching. Many schools in Haiti face numerous problems like unequal student-to-teacher ratio, lack of school supplies, and untrained educators. Our organization strives to address an aspect of this issue by providing school supplies donations.
• The Rising Tuition Fees
  For students in Haiti, quality education is mostly exclusive to private schools. With tuition rates steadily rising, the nation produces successful graduates scarcely, more so if a graduate is from an underprivileged community. Helping learners overcome the financial barriers that come with pursuing education is part of what our children’s programs strive to achieve.

Those factors are just the tip of the iceberg, but our organization strives to address these issues. You may call us for more information about our charity work and Community Christian Services in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
