 the ignorance of Batwa parents lead them to not see the importance of school for girls. Finally: the drop-outs Despite that primary school education is free of charge, many Batwa children drop out from school. We observe that in the first years of primary school (1st & 2nd), there are many children who attend school. But in the higher classes, very few Batwa students remain enrolled. This is due to the extreme poverty of Batwa families who do not manage to properly feed their children, to provide them with the necessary clothes, and to pay for other costs directly related to schooling. In Burundi, we observe that:  in primary school, of the 100 Batwa students that start the 1st year, only 10 students finish the sixth year (10%)  in secondary school, not many drop-outs are observed as at this stage children begin to understand the importance of school. Conclusion In Burundi, the main elements that prevent access to quality education, both for boys and girls, are discrimination, the remoteness of education centers, poverty, and ignorance. The government, donors, and other stakeholders should take specific actions for this ethnic group aiming at structural changes within this community. Awareness, the establishment of school infrastructure in their villages, and support of income-generating activities have been identified as actions that can help alleviate the situation of the lack of access to quality education.
