Primary education is free and compulsory for all children between 6 to 12 years old and lasts for seven years. Secondary education consists of three levels: Junior Secondary (grades 8-9), Senior Secondary (grades 10-12) and Post-Secondary (college or university). There are also teacher training colleges as well as vocational training centers available for students who wish to pursue a career in technical or manual labor. The government has implemented various initiatives over the past few years aimed at improving access to quality education for all citizens, including free textbooks and school uniforms for primary school students as well as providing scholarships for those pursuing higher education.
