Haitian Creole, Marc E. Prou
Marc E. Prou
Haitian Creole, also known as Kreyòl, is a member of the French-based creole language groups with a considerable part of its lexicon coming directly from seventeenth century French.

Haitian Education Under Siege: Democratization, National Development, And Social Reconstruction, Marc Prou
Marc E. Prou
From a national development perspective,the Haitian educational system presents an alarming picture. It is one in which too much is expected of too little, and in which results are sacrificed to bureacratic convenience. The facts are simple and irrefutable.

Yet economic growth and industrial expansion rely on education as a key factor for human capital formation. The major dichotomy between the two is that education can influence national development only to the extent that individuals are able to put the interests of the nation …
