PIP: Because the majority of El Salvador's population is young, the provision of educational services is a priority. The Ministry of Education reports that 1,028,877 students, of whom 51% were male, were enrolled in basic education courses in 1994. However, an estimated 1,600,000 children of school age were not enrolled. The country was able to offer educational services to only around 40% of school age youth. Many communities in El Salvador must share facilities. The case of 2 communities in Jocoaitique is not unusual: they share 4 teachers for 6 grades in 2 shifts, serving 270 children. The lives of rural children are difficult, and the costs of school for 4 or 5 children are beyond the reach of many rural families. Myths and taboos surrounding family planning in many regions of the country are an obstacle to solving the problem.^ieng
