Editor's Notes

  1. Slide 3. Mauritania is located in North Africa, the Atlantic ocean at the west of it, it is the eleventh largest country in Africa. And it's capital being Nouakchott
  2. slide 4. Mauritania, originally, has been populated by the Berber tribes since 3 AD. At around 8 Ad, the arabs came and introduced Islam to the berbers. around the 13th century the Yemeni arabs got the Islamic faith into the Mauritanian culture.Although most African nations were colonized by European powers, Mauritania has been able to stay free from European conquest as the different powers were mostly fighting amog themeselves. Mauritania was left alone until 1900s, where France took over. It was only on 1960 that it got independence from the French and the first president of Mauritania was Moktar Ould Dada.

  5. the color of the flag, green, symbolizes Islam, and the gold color of the crescent and star representes the sand of the sahara desert. The crescent and star are also symbols of Islam, which is the major religion in Mauritania
  6. slide 7. GDP: 8.2 Billion GDP per capita: 2,218 Population: 3.7 million Unemplyment: 30.9%
  7. the education system starts off from Primary edution, then Middle Education, Secondary Education, Vocational Education and then Tertiary Education. But the problem is that most families are poor and the cost of metarial and food forces many kids out of school. And some children never start school. And because of that the attendance to secondary schools are low.
