There is a 12-year compulsory schooling in
Saint Kitts and Nevis. The children start school when
they are five years old and the first stage lasts until
the age of twelve. There are then two additional stages. Almost eight out of ten children start school (2015),
but some jump off the road. Of the students who complete
the first stage, most of them continue to the higher
stages.
