Abstract | The article ... discusses the high levels of absolute poverty and decline in primary enrolment rates in the region as a result of the debt crisis of the 1980s. The author cites evidence demonstrating that even modest levels of education significantly improve the life chances of the poor and discusses how school enrolment and attainment rates are the lowest among African children living in poverty. The paper discusses the setbacks in enrolments that took place during the 1980s and explains how these resulted from an unsustainable debt burden that impacted educational opportunity directly through reducing the standard of living of families, and indirectly through cuts in educational expenditures. The article concludes by reviewing some promising initiatives sustained by local organizations and community groups to offer educational opportunities to low-income, street and working children.
