Across sub-Saharan Africa, the costs of getting a child through primary school often represents more than one-quarter of the annual income of a poor household. In many African countries going to school often still requires school fees (particularly for secondary education) and school uniforms. Combined with the cost of students required to bringing their own supplies these costs create low enrollment rates and high drop out rates.
