Food in Gambia is made of commonly grown food such as groundnuts, vegetables, millet and cassava along with meat and fish.
Although the Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa, its culture is the product of very diverse influences.
The Constitution mandates free and compulsory primary education in the Gambia, but a lack of resources and education infrastructure has made implementation difficult. In 1995, the gross primary enrollment rate was 77.1 percent and the net primary enrollment rate was 64.7 percent.
