The Government provides compulsory and free primary schools. There needs to be a system of checks to ensure that all children are allowed to go to school. Legislation provides that parents can be taken to court and charged if proved that they purposely hold their children from school. Due to financial constraints, some families may prefer boys go to school whilst girls are 'educated' at home. This practice is fast becoming extinct and education statistics have shown higher number of girls obtaining scholarships in past years. Primary, Secondary, Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) and Tertiary Institutions are highly subsidized by Government through provision of Teacher salaries, free equipment and other teaching materials.
