A country of over 5 million people, Nicaragua is known as the land of lakes and volcanoes. Although rich in culture and natural resources, this country is the 3rd poorest nation in the Americas. Decades of civil wars, natural disasters and corrupt governments have contributed to this status, making it difficult for many to break the destructive cycle poverty. Only 53% of the adult population has stable employment, with the remaining percentage of the population living below the poverty line.
Although the Nicaraguan government states that they provide elementary education to all children in this country, many children – especially in rural areas – are not able to attend even basic education because their families need them to bring in extra income or because there are no schools in their area. In contrast with other Central American countries, Nicaragua has the lowest primary school enrolment rate and the highest primary school dropout rate. It also has the highest percentage of primary school aged children who are not in school at all.
