Education in the Falkland Islands

There is also a primary school at RAF Mount Pleasant that mainly serves the children of members of the British armed forces.

[2] Some primary aged children who live in "camp" (the local term for the countryside) are educated remotely.

[5] This is entirely funded by the Falkland Islands, there is no assistance from the UK Government for the boarding fees and flight costs.

[1] Over time this has continued to change and by in the 2010s it had become common for students to choose from a range of schools and colleges, usually in the UK but occasionally in other countries such as Gibraltar and New Zealand.

Students receive funding from the Falkland Islands Government if they have a minimum of five GCSE passes at grade 4 or higher.
