Development challenges

Prime Minister Charlot Salwai explores the challenges of development

PM Salwai met with Director-General UNESCO Irina Bokova last week and expressed his gratitude for the support that Vanuatu got from the organization after it was hit by hurricane in 2015. 

With 25% of the national budget allocated to education, Mr Salwai indicated that the priority focus fell on the extension of free education up to the tenth year of schooling, as well as on improving curricula for a multilingual system, and also teacher training.
