In Tokelau, education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 14, with attendance rates reaching nearly 100 percent. Each of the three atollsā€”Fakaofo, Nukunonu, and Atafuā€”maintains its own school that provides both primary and secondary education.1

For students seeking to continue their studies beyond this level, vocational and higher education opportunities are available in several countries, including Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, and Niue. Additionally, scholarships are provided to support students pursuing these overseas educational opportunities.1
