In Haiti, only 8.6% of the population has received a secondary education, and less than half of the country is literate. This is largely because an education is incredibly difficult to afford. According to the World Bank, in 2014, the GDP per capita was only $846 and according to the latest household survey conducted, more than 59% of Haitians live under the national poverty line of $2.42 USD per day. With that in mind, governmental schools represent a very small portion of total schools in the country. The majority of schools are either run by non-profit organizations, religious groups, or private schools.
