Suriname - Administration, Finance, & Educational Research

religious organizations

The education system of Suriname is funded by the Minister of Education and Human Development and is regulated by the Ministry's Directorate of Education, which is represented in each of the 10 administrative districts by a district inspector. About half of all primary and junior secondary schools are operated by religious organizations, mostly Hindu, Muslim, or Catholic that operate with government subsidies. The religious organizations maintain the school facilities and hire their teachers from the graduates of the teacher-training college.
