of total population living in rural areas is 76% and the amount of total population living in urban areas is 30%. .
Niger's education is also only given in a total, which is 2.4 years attended. There are a few schools in Niger, but they do not have the supplies that are needed to teach accurately. The facilities that are accessible are hazardous to the children. Therefore, the education is low and the illiteracy is really high. Since the education is the bad the illiteracy rate is the worst among the worst five countries of the world, in Niger, it is 76.2% in males and an astonishing 91.6% in females. Other than the lack of supplies, the teachers aren't certified. This causes a problem when it comes to learning to read and write, when the teacher can hardly read and write. In Niger, the infant mortality rate is the highest among any country in the world at 122.23 deaths per 1,000 live births. There is a vast lack of nutrition for children. A huge amount of their water could be contaminated, so they only have a very small amount of water that is accessible. The life expectancy is also the highest in the world in Niger; it is 41.91 years on average, 42.04 years for males and 41.66 years for females. The hospitals are the same way as the schools. They have facilities, unlike other countries, but the supplies are limited. Therefore, they only treat the worst cases because of the shortage on supplies. The average population below poverty line, in Niger, is 63% of the total population. This high amount is due to the fact that 72% of the population lives in rural areas, the other 28% live in urban areas.
The total education in Burkina Faso is 2.8 years attended, 3.5 years for males and 2.2 years for females. Education is a must for children ages 7 to 12, although only half of them attend school.
