Burkina Faso: Education
built 657 days ago
[E]ducation is very important for the people of Burkina Faso; it is seen as the only vehicle out of poverty. Parents believe that education is the key to a well-paying job and therefore a better future. In Burkina Faso the educated are held in high regard. An educated child has a strong influence in the community and whatever he or she says is accepted and believed comparedwith a noneducated person's words. Education has strongly contributed to the well-being of the people and the nation.
