Background Education is one of the most important areas for Kenya, with 7% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_spe-education-spending-of-gdp">GDP</a>, and some 22% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_spe_as_per_of_tot_gov_exp-education-spending-total-government-expenditure">government expenditure</a> committed to the sector. A respectable 95% of students complete their <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_pri_com_rat-education-primary-completion-rate">primary level education</a>, though just 3% of the population are <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_ter_enr-education-tertiary-enrollment">enrolled in tertiary education</a>. Unsurprisingly, <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/time.php?stat=edu_ill_rat_by_sex_age_15&amp;country=ke">illiteracy rates</a> have been falling, with 14.9% of 15-year-olds or older illiterate in 2003, compared to 25.5% a decade earlier. Unlike many of the African nations, Nigeria doesn&rsquo;t have a great emphasis on education. So much so, that some &lsquo;recent&rsquo; 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.
