How long do Gambian kids stay in school for?

In The Gambia, education is officially free and compulsory for children from ages 6 to 15, covering primary education. Typically, Gambian children attend primary school for six years, followed by three years of junior secondary education. However, many students face challenges such as limited resources and economic factors that can affect their school attendance and completion rates. As a result, not all children complete their education within this timeframe.
