I'd like to learn about the Maldives. 
 I'll be glad to help! The Maldives are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. What would you like to learn about them? 
 Can you tell me about the religions practiced there? 
 Sadly I don't have that information. But you might be interested to know, the Maldives is the flattest country in the world! 
 Really! That's very interesting. Can you tell me anything about the people who live there? 
 Sure! The largest ethnic group in the Maldives are the Dhivehis, who are native to the region. There was also a small Tamil population known as the Giraavaru people in the past. English is widely spoken. 
 Are any other languages spoken there? 
 I'm not sure about that. But I can tell you the official religion of the population is Islam. And adherence to Islam is actually a requirement for citizenship/ 
 They sound like an interesting people. What can you tell me about their education system? 
 The Allied Health Services Training Centre was established by the Ministry of Health in 1973. They are the forerunner of the Faculty of Health Sciences 
 It sounds like many doctors and nurses are trained there. Are there any other major educational programs available? 
 I don't have any other information on that, unfortunately. 
 Can you tell me anything else about what they learn there? 
 I don't have any more info on their education. A fun fact, though, is that a book written in 1563 by Garcia de Orta stated the natives actually called the land Nalediva, rather than the known name of Maldiva at the time. 
 That's a fascinating fact! Thank you for the information about the Maldives. 
 You're so welcome!
