"This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain.] From 1990 to 1994, the gross primary school enrollment rose from 84.5 percent to 96.6 percent.][ Primary school attendance rates were unavailable for the Solomon Islands as of 2001.][ While enrollment rates indicate a level of commitment to education, they do not always reflect children’s participation in school.][ Efforts and plans made by the Department of Education and Human Resource Development to expand educational facilities and increase enrollment have been hindered by a lack of government funding, misguided teacher training programs, poor coordination of programs, and a failure of the government to pay teachers.][ The percentage of the government=s budget allocated to education was 9.7 percent in 1998, down from 13.2 percent in 1990.]References
