800,000

Out of a total national population of 5 million (approximately half of whom are under the age of 15), the number above is how many school-age children are reportedly growing up without any education. People I've talked to say that part of it comes from uneducated fathers (at least those who are around) who believe that if they can get by without schooling, so can their children, and the other part comes from the fact that there aren't enough jobs to go around for all the people who do actually go to school.

The development advocates here definitely have their work cut out for them. Godspeed.
