Equatorial Guinea is a small country on the African continent, bordering
Cameroon and Gabon. The official languages of the state are French,
Spanish and Portuguese. Ethnically 86% Fang and 85% Christian. With a
population of 14,68,000, the country covers an area of 28,050 sq km.
The constitution of this country is very simple. There is nothing
interesting. Any act of bias or discrimination based on race, ethnicity,
gender, religion, social, political or other similar motives is
punishable by law. Education is the primary duty of the country. Every
citizen has the right to primary education, which is compulsory, free
and guaranteed.
These are positive aspects. Now let's discuss
the negative aspects. The preamble acknowledges the existence of God. In
addition, the religious community has been given approval to establish
schools.
