Philippine Statistics....
from today's Philippine Star - as usual I cannot find the actual article on the website...either I am just not looking properly or it is one of the worst websites for a newspaper..ever....
One out of every three Filipinos aged between six and 24 has never been to school or has dropped out of the education system, according to a government survey released yesterday.
Some 11.6 million Filipinos, or 34 percent of the country's six to 24 years-olds quit school prematurely or never receive any formal education.
and then the really damning part...
One in five "stated that they could not afford the high cost of education," the National Statistics Office 2003 survey found.
and what comes across as a slightly more positive spin on the statistics from the government's National Statistics Office

Of course, may I suggest www.inq7.net? Tee hee. BTW, Torn & Frayed and I intend to invite you out for a meal, schedules permitting.
Will start to use another newspapers website...unfortunately the paper that our office gets is the Philippine Star so that's my first view of the local news in the morning....I am ashamed to say I only read the inquirer the other day for the first time...!!!
Schedules permitting...a meal sounds like a great idea....
