Education in Tuvalu

Education in Tuvalu is free and compulsory for children aged 6 to 15, focusing on literacy, mathematics, and cultural studies. The system includes primary and secondary schools, often within local communities, with some students pursuing tertiary education abroad. Challenges include limited resources, infrastructure, and access due to the island nation's small size and remoteness. Despite these obstacles, Tuvalu emphasizes integrating traditional culture with modern curriculum and promotes initiatives to improve educational facilities and teacher training, aiming to develop a skilled, culturally aware workforce that can support the country's sustainable development.
