Bolivia's Economic Crisis Forces Thousands of Students to Drop Out of School

In La Paz, Bolivia, the economic crisis has forced 18,000 students to abandon their studies, according to a recent report by Red Uno. This represents 10% of the total enrollment in primary and secondary schools in the city. The report highlights the difficult decisions families are making due to financial hardship. "The economic crisis isn't just destroying families; it's forcing students to leave school and college," said one educator interviewed for the report. The video shows students working during school hours, illustrating the severity of the situation. The government's response, which includes school closures and mergers, is also criticized in the report. The situation underscores the urgent need for economic relief and support for families struggling to provide for their children's education.
