Background	In recent decades, the Iranian government has made concerted efforts to improve the national education system. For that reason, Iran's <a href="">public spending on education</a> has consistently been amongst the top 20, with 22.85% of government spending in 2005 the 9th highest rate globally. The result has been a dramatic reduction in the number of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/time.php?stat=edu_chi_out_of_sch_pri&country=ir">children out of school</a>, falling from 1.7 million in 2000 to just 306,852 five years later. The <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/time.php?stat=edu_lit_rat_adu_tot_of_peo_age_15_and_abo&country=ir">literacy rate amongst adults</a>, meanwhile, have also increased, growing from 63.16% in 1990 to 77% in 2006.	Unlike many of the African nations, Nigeria doesn’t have a great emphasis on education. So much so, that some ‘recent’ figures are 20 years old. For example, in 1991, <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_pub_spe_on_edu_tot_of_gdp-education-public-spending-total-gdp">government spending on education</a> was just 0.89% of GDP, though <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_lit_rat_you_tot_of_peo_age_1524-total-people-ages-15-24">literacy rates amongst 15-24</a> year olds was a respectable 73% in 1990.
