	Schooling is very different in Vanuatu to what kids experience in New Zealand and Australia. Schools in Venuatu usually have their own fruit gardens, vegetable gardings from which they grow vegetables, sweet corn, manioc, sweet potatoes, igname and taro and at least twice a week, students work in the gardens. In this way, boarding schools are able to save money by growing, cooking and eating food from their own gardens. It is also good because the students learn more than just academic subjects, they learn life skills as well, and not just how to grow plants, but every Saturday and Sunday they have to cook their own food as well because there is no cook on the weekends.

			'''The Correspondence School in Vanuatu'''

			[[Te Kura]] (TCS), The Correspondence School in [[New Zealand]], offers distance learning to pupils in Vanuatu. There appears to be no systematic information, but there is evidence on the web of pupils studying. In particular see:

			* THE CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL STUDENT PRIZE WINNERS FOR 2009, http://www.correspondence.school.nz/all-news/media-releases/the-correspondence-school-student-prize-winners-for-2009 - where it is noted that the Dux for year 13 was from Vanuatu
			* PETER CHANGES HIS WORLD, http://www.correspondence.school.nz/all-news/news/peter-changes-his-world - about a 12-year old pupil in Vanuatu who organised the solving of a community problem

			A search on "vanuatu site:www.correspondence.school.nz" will reveal other stories on students in Vanuatu.

			''In line with policy on this wiki we try, while aiming to document our researches, to minimise the amount of personal detail on the wiki, especially about students who are not adult.''
