Teaching literary skills and training women
Schooling is toolow. As regards women, it is reduced to 37.6%. If we look at the whole population, only 50% of men can read and write this figure going down to 26.8% for women.
Specifically, in the region of Robis - Lungi, more than 90% of these women are functional illiterate. In some cases women attended school clases,however were not able to learn how to read,write or basic notions of mathematics, for the reason that the learning period was too brief.
