Cape Verde
Education in Cape Verde
Primary school education in Cape Verde is mandatory between the ages of 6 and 14 years and free for children ages 6 to 12.
Cape Verdean cuisine
Cape Verdean cuisine owes much to European influences and to the life in the sea around the archipelago. Perhaps the most ubiquitous dish is catchupa, a dish of ground maize, beans and sometimes meat or chicken.
Cape Verde climate
Cape Verde climate is milder than that of the African mainland, because the surrounding sea moderates temperatures on the islands and cold Atlantic currents produces an arid atmosphere around the archipelago.
