Tell me about the etymology of Gambia. 
 Sure. Many places including the United Staes stated the Gambia is actually pronouced The Gambiafor thsir self standing name. There is only one other place with The in front of it which is The Bahamas. 
 Interesting any more etymology information on The Gambia? 
 Yes there is. The name Gambia is derived from the Mandika term Kambra. 
 Does Kambra mean anything? 
 Yes it stands for Gambia river. 
 Can you tell me more about the society? 
 I would be glad.to. In 1995, the gross primary enrollment rate was over 75%. The net primary enollme t rate was just over 60%. School fees were in place and prevented many children from attending school. In February 1998, the President terminated school fees for children to attend schooling at least the first 6 years. 
 Are there private schools in The Gambia? 
 I am not able to provide that information but, 20% of school-aged children attended Quranic schools. 
 What are Quaranic schools? 
 I dont know what it means. I can say that The Krio People, locally knlwn as Akus, was the smallest ethnic group in Gambia. 
 Thanks for all the info! 
 Your welcome
The Gambia
