Education


It´s not a secret that in Costa Rican education is bad, principally, primary and high school. Generally, children and teenagers don´t have sources to improve. Desks, buildings and their own poverty make studying hard. Always, they have to pay a rate at the beginning of the course although the government says that education in Costa Rica is free. In addition, it´s very common that parents keep giving money throughout the year to satisfy other needs like materials for plastic arts and that kind of stuff which is in some cases unnecessary. On the other hand, higher education is good and cheap, but ironically it´s not allowed for poor people but for those who had received a good education, which is commonly given in private schools.

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Mark Twain
