An educated citizenry is the key to breaking the cycle of disempowerment among the people of Chuuk. No single issue deserves top priority in Chuuk today than the ensuring of adequate education of our children. It is imperative that our young generation are given all the available resources to survive in a globalized and fast-changing world. Without adequate education, the future of our State and its place in the global community will decline into hopelessness. The public school system must be resourced with competent leadership and adequately trained teachers. Efforts must be made to enable the public schools to learn from the best practices found in the private school systems; the private schools must take up the responsibility of helping the public schools. The College of Micronesia – Chuuk Campus through its partnership with other higher educational institutions must be do more to provide training programs and certification opportunities for Chuukese teachers and school administrators.
