percent budget

Prior to 1991, in spite of the campaign for literacy, Somalia's educational budget remained one of the lowest in Africa. In 1980 and 1986, education represented 8.7 and 2.8 percent of the national budget, respectively. The shares of the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education were about 62.4 percent, 25.8 percent, and 11.8 percent. In post-war Somalia, most of the available educational institutions were funded by private Somalis and international humanitarian organizations.
