School in Vanuatu is quite different from school in America. To begin with, there are no taxes so if a parent wants to send their child to school, they must pay. Therefore, if a parent can't afford tuition, children don't go to school. Education is not a top priority.
The children at Yevali School were so polite and well behaved. I'm sure they can act up but, they know they are there to learn.
We visited in July which is their winter. School was in session almost every day. They get a break around Christmas and through the month of January.
