Zaire Education is one of the healthiest institutions in contemporary Zaire. Several educational institutions like the schools, colleges and universities have mushroomed all over the nation to fight back the evil of illiteracy and results were remarkable according to surveys.
The number of illiterates above 15 years of age in Zaire has decreased from 68.7 % in 1962 to 38.8 % in 1985. During 1992 the rate of illiteracy was estimated at just 28 % of the population in Zaire. Among them 16 % were males over 15 years of age and 39 % of females. Numbers of schools, faculty members, and pupils grew incredulously.
For higher education, the nation boasts three universities. The subjects, specializations and research works done in these universities get well known to the rest of Africa. There are also institutes for teacher training, technical and agricultural studies. The university-affiliated research institutes in Zaire were founded since 1960 and started with a total of 30 Congolese university graduates among Zaire's huge population.
te of the few deficiencies in the Zaire education system, most Zairians have profound faith in the value of education and want their children to have a better future. Living standards have improved since the people of Zaire have given strong emphasis on primary education of their children. Education in Zaire is improving with passing years as they are inviting many visiting teaching faculties from the other famous African universities. Zaire Education is given vital importance by the government too. Many institutes are set up in the interiors by the government to serve proper education to the tribal groups.
