Haiti government attempts education reform

Haiti has barely recovered from the January earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 people, and now the country is in the wake of a full blown cholera epidemic. That has not stopped the Haitian government from taking on the mammoth task of reforming the country’s education system.

Marcelo Cabrol, Chief of the Education Division at the Inter American Development Bank, joins The Takeaway to tell us about his close work with a Haitian presidential commision charged with overhauling the entire school system. Their goal is to build 2,500 new schools, improve teacher training and make it more affordable for parents to see their kids receive an education.
