the state. The majority of the population
adheres to traditional beliefs, Christianity,

Geography & Climate
AT 592,800 square kilometers (228,900
sq mi), Naledi is the world’s 48th largest
country and the fifth-largest island. The
country lies mostly between latitudes 16°S
and 30°S, and longitudes 45°E and 50°E.

territory of Mayotte to the North West. The
nearest mainland states are Madagascar
and Mozambique, located to the west.
REGARDING CLIMATE, the combination
of southeastern trade winds and
northwestern monsoons produces a
hot rainy season (November–April) with
frequently destructive cyclones, and
a relatively cooler dry season (May–

five-year terms.

council. Provinces are further sub-divided
into regions and communes. The judiciary is

cause damage to infrastructure and local

Cyclone Pelo became the strongest cyclone

EDUCATION
These are complemented by public teachertraining colleges
and several private universities and technical colleges.As a
result of increased educational access, enrollment rates more
than doubled between and 2006 and 2010. However, educa-
tion quality is weak, producing high rates of grade repetition
and dropout.
The Education policy of the current government focuses on
quality issues, including an increase in minimum education
standards for the recruitment of primary teachers from a mid-
dle school leaving certificate to a high school leaving certifi-
cate, and a reformed teacher training program to support the
transition from traditional didactic instruction to student-cen-
tered teaching methods to boost student learning and partici-
pation in the classroom. Public expenditure on education was
13.4 percent of total government expenditure and 2.9 percent
of GDP in 2015. Primary classrooms are crowded, with average
pupil to teacher ratios of 47:1 in 2015 and low food security
levels amongst learners.

Prior to the 19th century, all education in Naledi was informal
and typically served to teach practical skills as well as social and
cultural values, including respect for ancestors and elders. The
first formal European-style school was established in 1818 at
Katleho by members of the London Missionary Society.
By the end of the 19th century Naledi had the most developed
and modern school system in pre-colonial Sub-Saharan Africa.
Access to schooling was expanded in coastal areas during the
colonial period, with French language and basic work skills be-
coming the focus of the curriculum. Today, government school
construction initiatives have ensured at least one primary school
per and one lower secondary school within each community.
At least one upper secondary school is located in each of the
larger urban centers. The three branches of the national public
university are located at Phumulong (founded in 1961), and
katleho (1977).

ECONOMY
Naledi has a mixed economy, the 7th largest in Africa. Unlike most of the world’s poor countries, Naledi does not have a thriving
informal economy. Only 15% of Naledian jobs are in the informal sector, compared with around half in Brazil and India and nearly
three-quarters in Indonesia. The OECD attributes this difference to Naledi’s widespread welfare system. World Bank research shows
Naledi has one of the widest gaps between per capita GNP versus its Human Development Index ranking, with only Madagascar
showing a larger gap.
Naledi also has a fairly high GDP per capita compared to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa ($10 00 at PPP as of 2012). Despite
this, Naledi is still burdened by a relatively high rate of poverty and unemployment, and is also ranked in the top 10 countries in the
world for income inequality measured by the Gini coefficient.
DEMOGRAPHICS
In 2016, the population of Naledi was estimated at 23 million. The annual population growth rate in Naledi was approximately 2.5 percent
in 2014. Approximately 30 percent of the population is younger than 15 years of age while 67 percent are between the ages of 15 and 64.
Those aged 65 and older form three percent of the total population. Only 3 general censuses, in 1975, 1993 and 2014 have been carried
out after independence. The most densely populated regions of the island are the eastern highlands and the eastern coast (where Impilo and
Phumulo provinces are located), contrasting most dramatically with the sparsely populated western plains (on which Katleho and Leratong
provinces are located).
