HISTORY

Under President Aristide some improvements were made. In 1997 the government passed a 10-year education plan, with the goal of universal access to quality schools. The national education budget increased from 9% to 22% in 2000. This paid for programs to provide school lunches, uniforms, and bus transpotation. Additionally in 2002 the government began a literacy campaign, facilitated by 30,000 literacy monitors and the distribution of 700,000 literacy manuals. Overall, school attendance rose from 20% in 1994 to 64% in 2000. After Haiti's 2010 earthquake the President of Haiti gave the Inter-American Development Bank, IDB the mandate to work with the Education Ministry and the National Commission preparing a major reform of the Education system in a 5 year plan.
