Primary Education
In addition to financial barriers, there are also linguistic barriers. French and Creole are both official languages of Haiti. Most Haitians speak Creole, but only the most advantaged Haitians speak French. Since French is the principal written and administrative language of Haiti, it is required for any person wishing to engage as a full citizen of Haiti. The current practice of using Creole in poor school classrooms discriminates against the lower socioeconomic classes, and those schools that serve the poor have little financial incentive to do so, since poorer parents are unable to pay very much. The dearth of qualified teachers contributes to the low caliber of many Haitian schools, particularly in rural areas.
It is noteworthy for inadequate learning material, unqualified teachers, and the government’s inability to provide resources to make improvement. These caused our children, after their mediocre fourth grade level, to be stuck because of incompetence in competing in the fifth grade with other kids from a better school. We are focused on providing learning materials, improving teacher training, and technology to enhance the quality and accessibility of education, particularly in rural areas.
