Abstract

The Republic of Kiribati, located in Micronesia, has been recognized by the United Nations as one of the world’s poorest nations. One crucial aspect of the underdevelopment of this small Pacific atoll is that of education. Education plays a major role in the empowerment of people and contributes immensely to national capacity building.
