Matt, in your article you introduced that there should be more focus on private education, but in regards to Port-au-Prince, this is hardly a solution people the majority of the people cannot afford to go to private school. I attended private school in Haiti and the tuition was absurdly higher than what the average person could afford. I think the focus should be more on public school reform because this sysytem is more accessible to the masses. I think the Haitian government should take the initiative to improve the quality of teaching, instruct better teachers, and also make concessions for those students who are not able to buy their own uniform or books.
