 In 2007, while around 90 percent of children completed primary education, only 35 percent completed lower-secondary education and only 15 percent progressed to upper-secondary education and beyond.This left around 3.1 million youngsters, or 85 percent of 15–24-year-olds, not receiving any advanced schooling.The situation is even worse when it comes to technical and vocational training, where the number of enrolled students aged between 14 and 20 barely accounts for 2 percent of this population segment.
