About Swaziland
Education in Swaziland

Missions pioneered the development of formal education in Swaziland. The State now builds schools throughout the country, but has been unable to satisfy the demand for education and community schools have proliferated. All three types teach the national curriculum and are provided with teachers by the Ministry of Education, but mission and community schools receive little support for the development and maintenance of buildings. All charge admission fees to students.
