Tongan Studies (Pre-2022)

Tongan Studies was a compulsory subject in Tongan schools up to Form 5. While a detailed syllabus for the subject remains elusive, some information can be gleaned from various sources. It appears that Tongan Studies encompassed aspects of Tongan language, culture, and history.

One source mentions Tongan Studies covering topics such as "Tala 'O Tonga." Another source indicates that Internal Assessments for the subject have included cultural traditional dance and, in one instance, a study of Parliament.

Tongan was taught as a compulsory subject until Form 5, with English being the primary language of instruction for other subjects. The Ministry of Education and Training in Tonga was responsible for overseeing the education system, including the Tongan Studies curriculum.
