The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) continued its school outreach program in September by a visit to Year nine students in all government and faith-based schools in South Tarawa and Betio from 07 – 22 September 2022.
This annual outreach program aims to provide students with a better understanding of tourism sector, its benefits, in particular its contribution to the Kiribati economy through employment and business opportunities.
TAK’s annual outreach to year 9 students also compliments the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) inclusion of tourism studies in the school’s Kiribati Community Studies class.
Saint Louise teacher Ioane Keebwa commented that “such an outreach program is crucial for students at this level to gain a better understanding of tourism and its potential for Kiribati’.
TAK acknowledges the ongoing support of MoE and to all faith-based schools in endorsing TAK’s tourism outreach.
