Percentage of students who report being happy at school 90.6

Costa Rica is a place where the happiest people on planet live, at least that’s what Happy Planet Index claims. Since children and adolescents account for nearly one-third of the state population, it is not a surprise that young Costa Ricans found their place on this list. Still, it should be mentioned that one of the problems which Costa Rica’s educational system faces is high non-attendance rate among secondary school students. The rate is as high as 18.4 percent partly because great number of children from immigrant and indigenous families are out of the system.
