Nyasaland was a British protectorate located in Africa, which was established in 1907 when the former British Central Africa Protectorate changed its name. Between 1953 and 1963, Nyasaland was part of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. After the Federation was dissolved, Nyasaland became independent from Britain on 6 July 1964 and was renamed Malawi.

In Malawi, primary education is not compulsory, but the Constitution requires that all people be entitled to at least five years of primary education. In 1994, free primary education for all children was established by the government, which increased attendance rates.
Youth literacy has increased in Malawi, moving from 68% in 2000 to 82% in 2007. This increase is primarily attributed to improved learning materials in schools, better infrastructure and feeding programs that have been implemented throughout the school system.

Lived at Mpondas at start of year in Malawi in 1966. How can I buy this postcard?
Hello,
How exciting to be able to say you lived there!
The best place to buy cards from there would be eBay - or if you want better prices, look on the internet for postcard shows in your area. They are a lot of fun, and you find great postcards from all over the world. This card however, is from my personal collection and not for sale, sorry.
Beautiful card!
