According to defectors, the school curriculum has academic, but also strong political content in order to preserve the "state control". In 2016, it was estimated that 48% of the Zwai population was literate, and the rate for men (55.7%) is higher than that for women (30.6%); though the government claims to have achieved 100% literacy.

Folk Religion is overwhelming the most dominant religion of Zwailand, with virtually all Zwai practising Traditional Zwai Folk Religion. Traditional Religion accounts for approximately 52.1% of the population. Traditional religion embody's and openly espouses concepts as nontheism, animism, vitalism, spirit and ancestor worship, witchcraft, and sorcery. Attempts at centralising the religion and its practices - which tend to widely among ethnic groups- under the theocratic High Supreme Shaman has worked with limited success.
Irfan is the largest religious minority in the country, with estimates putting the number at 25%. Irfan Sotirianity was introduced and mainly spread by traders, merchants, slave raiders, and military incursions between the xxth centuries. Most followers of Irfan live on the outer-frontier regions.

Health

Zwailand has universal health care, but public health suffers from a chronic shortage of medical supplies, overpopulation, a lack of resources and not enough well trained medical personnel relative to population. Many medicines are in short supply or even unavailable in more rural/remote parts of the country. As a result of shortages of qualified doctors, many areas of Zwailand are dependent on foreign doctors to provide basic medical care or otherwise lack it completely.
Zwailand has historically experienced poor public health with stubbornly high mortality rates. In recent years, however, there has been enormous progress in improving public health. Throughout the late-1970s, Zwai government focused on increasing funding for healthcare and asserted that universal health care was to become a priority of state planning. As a result, infections rates from diseases such as polio, malaria and tuberculosis have massively declined. Nevertheless, lower respiratory infections, measles, neonatal disorders and HIV/AIDS still ranked the topmost causes of deaths in Zwailand. While malnutrition, pollution, meningitis and poor sanitation of water supply remain significant threats to public health.
The child mortality rate is one of the highest in the world to the organisation [xxxx]. In 2017, it was estimated the child mortality rate was at 200 per 1,000, generally because of poor health conditions and inadequate nutrition; especially in rural areas. Zwailand also has one of the highest fertility rates in the world - 5.09 births per woman according to 2017 estimates - but also one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world at 720 deaths/100,000 live births.
However, with the the outbreak of the Zwai Civil Wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Zwai healthcare system as all but collapsed in many areas. Zwailand is currently facing numerous health challenges related to growing poverty, malnutrition, the War in Bula and Separatist insurgencies in Zwailand, and inadequate hygiene and sanitation; a direct result of decades of violence. In a 2014 study, Zwailand's health and development indicators ranked among the worst in the world.
