Given the inconsistencies in the formal curricula taught in secondary schools and required on university entrance exams, and generally inadequate quality of education in orphanages, orphans are not prepared to take university entrance exams and to handle academic rigor at a university. For orphans who are accepted into universities, admission does not translate into graduation, as the majority of orphans struggle academically to compete with their peers who had graduated from better quality secondary schools and had years of tutoring to enhance their academic competencies.
