Education

In 1869, Costa Rica was one of the first countries to offer education free of charge and to introduce compulsory schooling, which now applies to students aged 6 to 15. Pre-school education is compulsory and, like basic education, is offered free of charge to children up to 5 years of age. The six-year primary school is followed by the five-year two-cycle secondary school. The Abitur (Bachillerato) at the end of secondary school entitles you to study at a university. The high number of early school leavers remains problematic for the education system, especially in the secondary sector. In the tertiary sector there are, in addition to four state-run, numerous private higher education institutions; The oldest university is the Universidad de Costa Rica (founded in 1843) in San José.

Costa Rican literature

Costa Rican literature, is part of Latin American literature in Spanish.

In the 19th century, the costumbrismo (customs portrayal) determined the country’s literature, the most important representative of this direction being Magón (actually Manuel González Zeledón, * 1864, † 1936), who at the same time stood in the tradition of naturalism. With Carlos Gagini (* 1865, † 1925) the regionalist component became even more pronounced.

After 1945, poetry was particularly important, v. a. with the socially critical »Poetas de Turrialba« (Jorge Debravo, * 1938, † 1967; Laureano Albán, * 1942; inter alia), which met by Albán et al. confronted the exterioristic poetry of Ernesto Cardenal with a »Transcendentalist Manifesto«.

In the following generation the storytellers were more important, v. a. Carmen Naranjo (* 1928, † 2012), Quince Duncan (* 1940) and Alfonso Chase (* 1945), also known as a poet.

Luis Chaves Campos (* 1969) is also known to a reading audience in the United States, Spain and Germany. His collection of poems »La Foto – Das Foto« (2012) was published in German. He also writes novel-like chronicles (»Salvapantallas«, 2015), essays and stories.
