Haiti's Sleepy Education
海地昏昏欲睡的教育

A little girl sleeps as she waits for her class to start at the 'Divine' school in Port-au-Prince, Sept.18, 2007.  Haiti is seeking to reverse the worst literacy rate in the Americas by 2010 through an ambitious campaign, that will offer free reading and writing lessons for 3 million Haitians, about a third of the population.
圖中這名小女孩9月18日正在海地太子港的「神聖」小學等上課，坐著坐著竟然睡著了。海地被評估到2010年將成為美洲地區識字率最低的國家，目前正發起企圖心很大的運動，將免費提供三百萬海地人讀寫課程，約為全部人口的三分之一，全力扭轉這種趨勢。
Education in Haiti changed during the 1970s and the 1980s. Primary en-rollments increased greatly, especially in urban areas.  Nevertheless, as of 1982 about 65 percent of the popula-tion over ten years of age had received no education and only 8 percent was educated beyond the primary level.
海地教育情況在1970和1980年代曾大幅改善，小學入學率大增，尤其在都會區。但到1982年仍有約65%十歲以上人口沒有受教育，小學以上受教育的比率更只有8%。
