COOK ISLANDS SCHOOLS
DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOLS
The Cook Islands consists of 15 islands. Rarotonga is the main island in terms of population and economic
activity. The Southern Group, which excludes Rarotonga in this digest, consists of 7 islands, 2 of which (Manuae
and Takutea) are not permanently populated. The least populated region is the Northern Group. The group
consists of 7 islands with only Suwarrow lacking a permanent population.
Schools are established on all 12 permanently populated islands. All of the 34 schools in the Cook Islands are co-
educational. There are 14 schools on Rarotonga, 12 in the Southern Group and 8 in the Northern Group. The total
number of schools remains the same as in 2000. However Uturei SDA School (Atiu) was closed down due to
insufficient enrolment and Lucky School in Palmerston reopened after having been destroyed by fire in 1999.

STATUS OF SCHOOLS
The Government has established schools on all twelve permanently inhabited islands. "Private " is used to
denote a non-government school neither owned nor operated by a religious organisation. The two private
schools, Blackrock Preschool and Te-Uki-Ou Primary, are located on Rarotonga. There are also four Church
schools on Rarotonga. Two are administered by the Catholic Church (St Joseph's and Nukutere), one by the
Seventh Day Adventist Church (Papaaroa) and one by the Assembly Of God Church (Imanuela Akatemia). The
Catholic Church also administers a primary school (St Mary's) on Mauke and the SDA Church administers a
primary school (Aitutaki SDA) on Aitutaki.

EDUCATION FUNDING
SCHOOL BASED FUND RAISING IN SCHOOLS
Principals are requested to record the total amount of funds raised by the school and the school
committee in the year prior to the EMIS i.e. the 2001 EMIS records funds raised in 2000. Only 16
schools reported fund-raising for both 1999 and 2000. The two most likely reasons for the low
report rate is that many principals do not know the full financial situation of their schools and that
some principals are reluctant to divulge such information. The tables below analyse the data
supplied by these 16 schools. As in previous years, fund-raising continues to increase most
significantly on Rarotonga and by Private Schools
