It directly operates the 11-16 education ending in GCSEs. It does not directly operate post-16 educational services, but it oversees any such education taken by Falkland Island residents in other institutions:[3] the Falkland Islands Government pays approved schools and colleges in the UK to educate Falkland Islanders for sixth form studies and national diplomas and NVQs.[4] In recent years it has become possible for students to use this funding to study approved courses in countries besides the UK.

Facilities edit
