Educational Attainment Breakdown
- Primary but below Matric: 549 males and 289 females
- Matric but below Degree: 128 males and 84 females

These numbers show a steep decline in participation at higher educational levels, particularly among females. While 289 women have completed primary education, only 84 continue through to matriculation, and just 27 achieve degree-level qualifications. The dramatic drop-off at each educational stage suggests severe challenges in retention and access to higher education.
