Gallup Poll:

 

Latin Americans See Barriers to Educational Opportunity

 

By Steve Crabtree and Cynthia English

 

·   Only 56% in region say children have chance to learn, grow every day

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thanks largely to the rising price of Latin America’s export commodities, the region has seen increased economic growth in recent years. Education is one area where this additional income is sorely needed: Gallup finds Latin Americans are less likely than residents of other global regions to say that most children in their country have opportunities to learn and grow every day.

 

For the complete Gallup Poll article, that was released April 24, please link to “Latin Americans See Barriers to Educational Opportunity.”  Results are based on face-to-face interviews with about 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, in each of the 25 countries conducted in 2006 and 2007.
