	Education delivery in Kiribati is a joint partnership effort between the government and the churches. Formal primary education in Kiribati, since 1977, is compulsory and free from class 1 - 6 usually ranging between ages 6 - 11. Juniour secondary school, this means from forms 1 - 3, usually ranging between ages 12 - 14, is also free although not compulsory. Senior secondary education from forms 4-7 ranging from ages 15-18 is subsidised by the state, making it easier for parents to sponsor their children.

	The curriculum places emphasis on basic disciplines as well as professional subjects. English, Maths, Natural Sciences (environmental studies, biology, chemistry, physics and computer science), Social Sciences (including History and Geography) and Cultural Studies (including Kiribati language and traditional skills). It also includes such optional subjects as Accounting, Commerce, Home Economics and Industrial Arts. Cultural studies for Kiribati studies is essential for selection into junior secondary but not so for selection into Forms 6 and 7, as these are academically biased towards preparation for University education, in which the need for local language and skills is not critical.

			The goal for the education sector is an education system achieving high standards, broad coverage, relevance and cost effective delivery.

			Medium term objectives for the sector are:

			*Upgrade resourcing of the primary school system
			**This will be done by giving priority to teacher training, classroom upgrading, and provision of teaching aids and textbooks, at the primary education level.
			*Universal access to education up to Form 3
			**Proceed with Junior Secondary School programme in a staged and cost effective manner.
			*Improved cost effectiveness of all levels of the education system
			**This will be possible by retaining and building on church and community participation in delivering education at all levels
			**Optimising pupil/teacher ratios
			**Introducing fees for all non-compulsory services
			**And by seeking efficiencies in the provision of post-secondary education, in both local institutions and in the funding of training at overseas tertiary institutions
			*Improved quality and relevance of the education system
			**Supporting community and church groups in establishing early childhood education principles in the pre-school system
			**Improving linkages between the education system and the job market

	Computer sciences have been offered as optional courses in Kiribati schools for a long time but ICT as such if absent if only, relatively new. Schools like Moroni High School, KGV/EBS and USP Centre have had computer labs and have offered computer studies for long. The cost of internet connectivity in Kiribati is still relatively high and poor and most schools have no access to the internet. Hence in 2005, there was no known national curriculum on ICT.
