Message from the Hon. Minister of Education and Training, Hon. ‘Uhilamoelangi Fasi 

Mālō e lelei,

Education is more than a system—it is the heartbeat of our nation’s future. At the Ministry of Education and Training, we are committed to ensuring every child, in every village and island, has access to quality learning opportunities that empower them to reach their full potential.

As we face the challenges of a fast-changing world, we remain grounded in our Tongan values, while embracing innovation and resilience. Let us move forward together—with unity, purpose, and a shared belief in the power of education to transform lives and strengthen our beloved Kingdom.

Fakafeta’i lahi atu, and may God bless our journey.

About Us

Tonga's formal education system began in 1828 with the establishment of schools by the Wesleyan Mission, preceding the widespread conversion of Tongans to Christianity. The Mission maintained control over nearly all primary education until 1882, when the government assumed responsibility for the educational system. However, in 1906, missionary organizations were again permitted to open their own schools.
