“Reach, Educate, and Inspire” is this year’s Education Week’s motto.
This week is full of events for schools to gather and learn from each other or compete with each other.

Education week is learning outside classroom with more laughter and excitement. This year’s week started off with a march by students from EZ Price to the College of the Marshall Islands basketball court where the opening ceremony happened.

On Tuesday schools gathered at ICC for a science fair which was a great success. Officials from the Trust Company of the Marshall Islands and MIMRA joined in by donating prizes for the science fair. All schools gathered on Wednesday at ICC for a day of math competitions.
Thursday is Marshallese language Arts spelling bee. Friday is a debate event at Marshall Islands Resort Lomalo room. The debate wraps up Education Week 2020.
