Spatial Distribution of Schools and Development of Education in the Sub Zone of Adi-Keih and Senafe of Zoba Debub, Eritrea

Abstract

As a basic and crucial human right, education serves as the basis for all other human rights. In addition to fostering individual autonomy and self-determination, education is essential for the expansion of the global economy and society as a whole. In Eritrea's national strategy and larger framework for development, socioeconomic progress, and poverty reduction, education is a significant component. Children of warriors, orphans, refugees, and other groups previously barred from educational possibilities in Eritrea have access to a wide range of educational programs and institutions. 76.6 percent of adults in Eritrea are literate according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics in 2018, with the literacy rate for youth (15-24 years) standing at 93.3 percent. This research is based on the use of both the primary and secondary sources of data. The study deals with the spatial distribution of schools and development of education in the sub-zone of Adi-keih and Senafe of Zoba Debub. In this study all level of school education from kindergarten to high school level in both the sub-zones have been analyzed. This research has found out that the most intervening obstacles of education in these sub zones are school-home distance, topography and lack of modern educational facilities
