Africa+Secondary+School

=AFRICA: SECONDARY SCHOOL =  In one out of four African countries, half of the children enrolled in the last year of primary school do not pursue their studies the following year. In another 25% of countries, only one in three pupils at the end of primary school moves on to secondary education.  Burundi and the United Republic of Tanzania have the lowest transition rates of 20%. Five countries - Botswana, Ethiopia, Seychelles, South Africa and Sudan - have very high transition rates, exceeding 90%. (sorry I'm not sure what happened but the font is messed up!!!) --- i got my info from http://www.uis.unesco.org/TEMPLATE/pdf/EducGeneral/UIS_Fact%20Sheet_2006_02_SecAfr_EN.pdfareerbuilder.com/ --- In south Africa they have 6000 highschools which are grades 7-12. (this is out of 26,292 schools) --http://www.southafrica.info/about/education/education.htm--

Uganda also offers free primary education, but fewer than half its children complete secondary school because they would have to pay fees of up to $100 per term. ([])
