Even before they've set foot on school grounds, Bohol's children seem to have already set their minds on being school dropouts.

Department of Education (DepEd) Bohol superintendent Dr. Elpidio Jala told the Bohol Chronicle that 56% of the children of age six been found out not enrolled for Grade I.
