About 20% of young Timorese are neither in school nor in work due to lack of education, limited health care and ineffective social protection, a World Bank (WB) human capital report found.
“Twenty percent of young Timorese aged 15 to 24 are neither in school nor in work, a figure that has not declined since 2010, due to low levels of education, limited health services and ineffective social protection during childhood and adolescence. “, can be read in a document assessing the situation with human capital in the country.
The report, published on the BM’s official website, said that “average school attendance of just 6.3 years is symptomatic of poor learning outcomes.”
