The task of managing the infrastructure is particularly hard as the capacity of the school board as w'ell as the ability to fundraise from the local community is often lower in rural areas, while many school buildings are in very poor condition as most of them were built between the 1950s and 1970s. The hundred primary schools with the lowest performance in the country, as measured by grade repetition and dropout levels, have less than 50 students and are mostly located in rural areas outside of the capital area (PEN, 2013). There are also indications that students from small primary schools are less likely to make the transition to secondary school.
