Background Egypt boasts a <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_lit_rat_you_tot_of_peo_age_1524-total-people-ages-15-24">literacy rate amongst young people</a>&nbsp;of 84.93%, but that falls behind 11 other African Nations, the leader of that group being Equatorial Guinea (94.96%). However, it still marks are major improvement from 1990 figures when only 61.32% of the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/time.php?stat=edu_lit_rat_you_tot_of_peo_age_1524&amp;country=eg">15-24 age group were considered literate</a>. And, with the 2nd highest <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_pri_com_rat-education-primary-completion-rate">primary school completion rate</a>&nbsp;in the continent, 98%, that level should change. In Africa, only Tunisia and South Africa currently have higher, with 99% completion. Education is considered an important sector. In 2005, 19.4% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_pub_spe_on_edu_tot_of_gov_exp-public-spending-total-government-expenditure&amp;date=2005">government spending</a>&nbsp;going to education. However, the sector does have its problems, with the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_pup_rat_pri-education-pupil-teacher-ratio-primary">pupil-teacher ratio at primary school</a>&nbsp;level the 4th highest in the world, at 72.28 students to each teacher and just 55% of children of primary school-going age actually <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_pri_com_rat-education-primary-completion-rate">completing primary education</a>. In fact, Ethiopia has the 5th highest rate of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_pri_sch_gir_out_of_sch-education-primary-school-girls-out">primary school girls out of school</a>, with 84% not attending classes.
