Elementary School
Elementary school last 5 years and is meant to provide the basic skills to achieve non-qualified jobs. Primary education is free and complulsory for two years for children between 6 and 12 years of age. The net primary enrollment (percentage of relevant age-group) in 2001 was 86.7 percent. The completion rate (percentage of age-group) for children attending elementary school (primaria) in 2001 totaled 89.5 percent. In many rural areas, teachers are poorly qualified, and only five years of primary school are offered.
Due to the insufficiency of the existing institutions to accomplish the full coverage of the children population, the public education system has adopted the "automatic promotion" as standard practice (Decreto 230 de 2002), meaning that the children are promoted to the next grade no matter the achievement of goals, with the purpose to avoid extra years of occupancy in the schools.
