While the government provides tuition for elementary and some high school education, students must provide their own desks and uniforms, which can present a financial hardship. The distance to get to school can often exceed 7 miles one way, and the children often do not have shoes to walk, so will walk barefoot. In addition, the students often lack books, and other needed school supplies. At the collegiate level, many struggle to go to school; as little as $350 – $500 can provide a year of college education.
