La Paz, Bolivia - June 9, 2025. A recent report by Red Uno News reveals a concerning trend: over 18,000 secondary school students in La Paz have not enrolled this year. This is primarily due to the dire economic circumstances faced by many Bolivian families. The difficult choice between providing food and ensuring their children's education is forcing families to make heartbreaking decisions. Cesar Cardenas, representing the Departmental Federation of Urban Education Workers in La Paz, states, "In each family, the father and student have two options: continue studying or work to eat." This reflects the widespread poverty affecting access to education. The lack of enrollment is not just a statistic; it represents thousands of children whose futures are jeopardized. The situation underscores the urgent need for government intervention and social programs to support families and ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive an education. The hope is that this crisis will spur action to address the root causes of poverty and improve access to education for all Bolivian children.
