Food Security and Health Services Accessibility in Burkina Faso
Location and poverty status do matter in the way students engage in
learning activities. This can be explained by the spatial pattern of
electricity coverage and asset ownership (urban/non-poor people have
higher chance to own a TV, while rural/poor people own radio).
What types of educational activities have these children who were in school been engaged in since the educational structures were closed?
Those in Ouagadougou are more likely to rely on tutoring by
another family member; and those in other urban/rural areas
are more likely to do nothing or to rely on radio. The use of TV
is more pronounced in urban areas.
