Paragraph text
In Senegal, Law 91-22 of 1991 on the orientation of national education, modified in 2004 by Law 2004-37, institutes compulsory schooling for all children aged between 6 and 16, which is free in all public schools. The recognition of the duty to provide education was reportedly followed by an increase in national investment to nearly 40 per cent of the national budget.
