  • i still haven’t gotten my hands on current data, but from 1995 statistics of Recife:

    public school–31% failed 1st grade. 22% dropped out, leaving only 47% that went on to second grade
    Only 28% of children aged 10-17 completed four or more years of school.

    infant mortality rate–74 per 1,000 live births

    of 100 major cities rated in living conditions…Recife was 96th. (in being worst)

    Murders–47.6 per 100,000 (compared to 3.3 in Chili and 0.7 in England)
