government has been doing its best to
provide every school-age child nine
years of compulsory education and
the outcome is highly successful. Yet,
problems and difficulties remain in
the rural areas, some poor countries
and less-populated areas. Distance
learning and mixed-grade classes
helped a lot. Besides, some
international organizations and local
organizations offered money to meet
the cost in the poor areas.
