Haiti’s education system has been a concern for decades. A country plagued by low literacy rates, low enrollment rates, and low completion rates, Haiti faced institutional challenges brought on by a history of colonial domination by the Global North as well as natural disasters like the 2010 earthquake that continue to influence the structure of government institutions, including primary education. ... read moreWas it the influx of private schools, now accounting for 82% of primary and secondary schools, that caused an increase in literacy, enrollment, and completion rates?This paper analyses current literature, data from the Haitian government and from independent research organizations to answer that very question. Unfortunately, the limits of the data mean that a multivariate regression analysis cannot confirm nor deny a correlation between the type of school, public or private, and improved educational outcomes. However, the discussion in literature circles and the prospect of increased data collection can provide a conclusion of increased research on the part of private actors entering the education sector in Haiti.
