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 SDA Church
also administers a primary school (Tekaaroa) on Aitutaki.

Data for 1996 to 2007 is derived from the EMIS.
Since 1996 there has been a 51(10%) decrease in ECE rolls, a 925(31%) decrease in primary rolls and a
123(6%) decrease in secondary rolls. The overall decrease since 1996 is 1099(20%).
There appears to be an increase in secondary school rolls since 2002. This maybe an indication of NCEA
increasing retention.

The number of students repeating at each level is directly recorded on each school's 2007 EMIS
survey form by the school's principal.
The Ministry does not encourage students to repeat years in the primary school where it believes
Social progression is more important. Teachers are supported in providing independent programmes
for students requiring extra support.
