The average schooling in the young population (6 to 24 years) is only 6.3 years, which is equivalent to little more than complete primary education. Even more critical is the school lag, which reaches an average of 61.0% in the region (see Figure 2). This low technical qualification represents a structural barrier for the proposed economic diversification towards sectors such as agro-industry or renewable energies, which demand qualified labor.
