These national figures mask a much harsher reality in isolated rural areas such as Velondriake, where adequately staffed and resourced public schools are a rarity.<\/p>\n<p>Madame Luciene\u2019s village of Vatoavo only has a primary school, so if parents want their kids to continue education, they must send them to Morombe, a two-day journey consisting of a pirogue sail, a 16-kilometre walk, and a <em>taxi-brousse<\/em> (bush taxi) ride.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-7529 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2-322x483.jpg\" alt=\"MmeLuciene-BODY2\" width=\"322\" height=\"483\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2-322x483.jpg 322w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2-43x65.jpg 43w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2-238x357.jpg 238w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/12\/MmeLuciene-BODY2.jpg 700w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 322px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 322\/483;\" \/>&#8220;When the children are back on holiday from school, they help out on the <em>lomotse<\/em> farm to cover their school fees,\u201d she stresses.<\/p>\n<p>As the businesswoman and entrepreneur in the family, Madame Luciene handles all of the financial decisions relating to her various businesses and her family.<\/p>\n<p>My husband usually goes to Tampolove to sell the <em>f\u00edantsira<\/em>, <em>tsitsike maiky<\/em>, and <em>lomotse<\/em>.
