  1. All children receive free primary education from the age of seven. Education is compulsory for seven years. The Tuvaluan school system has seven years of primary and six years of secondary education. Secondary education is provided at Motufoua, a former church school on Vaitupu now jointly administered by the government. In 1994, 1,906 students were enrolled in 11 primary schools. In 1990, secondary schools had 345 students with 31 teachers. Tuvalu Marine School was opened in 1979 with Australian aid. In the same year, the University of the South Pacific (Fiji) established an extension center at Funafuti. (www.ingots.com/tuvalu/ooe/580km)

  2. Through the commitments the Government has made to international conventions and declarations, in particular those outlined below, the Government has also recognized the following national goals in relation to education. • Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) • Tuvalu ratified the CRC on 22 September 1995, thereby, making a commitment to the child’s right to education. Article 28 of CRC establishes that right. Education is recognised to be essential for all children. The article stresses the right must be achieved on the basis of equal opportunity". This in summary includes: • Making primary education compulsory and available free to all; • Promoting the different forms of secondary education and vocational education; • Making higher education accessible to all; • Making educational and vocational information readily available; and • Taking measures to encourage regular attendance at schools and reducing dropout rates. • 6.1 Early Childhood care and development (ECD) • Table 1.

  6. In 1974, ethnic differences within the British colony of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands caused the Polynesians of the Ellice Islands to vote for separation from the Micronesians of the Gilbert Islands. The following year, the Ellice Islands became the separate British colony of Tuvalu. Independence was granted in 1978. In 2000, Tuvalu negotiated a contract leasing its Internet domain name "TV" for $50 million in royalties over a 12-year period. (www.CIA.gov) Tuvalu Background

  7. Environments current issues since there are no streams or rivers and groundwater is not potable, most water needs must be met by catchment systems with storage facilities (the Japanese Government has built one desalination plant and plans to build one other); beachhead erosion because of the use of sand for building materials; excessive clearance of forest undergrowth for use as fuel; damage to coral reefs from the spread of the Crown of Thorns starfish; Tuvalu is concerned about global increases in greenhouse gas emissions and their effect on rising sea levels, which threaten the country's underground water table; in 2000, the government appealed to Australia and New Zealand to take in Tuvaluans if rising sea levels should make evacuation necessary (http://www.CIA.gov)

  8. No I would not because; 1.It is too expensive to live there at £1050 a month for a villa. 2.There are major environmental problems with forest been cut down for oil and gas and the Japanese government having to supply water 3. There are no decent well played jobs there. 4.Also there is a high chance of hurricanes happening in this area. Would you live in Tuvalu?
