Tuvalu's primary education system is free and compulsory for children aged 6 to 15. Each island has a primary school. While details about the specific Year 8 Physical Education curriculum are unavailable, the broader primary curriculum includes subjects such as English, Mathematics, Social Science, Basic Science, Business Studies, Art & Craft, Physical Education, and Religious Education. The Tuvalu Education Sector Plan (TESP) III (2016-2020) aimed to improve the quality, relevance, and efficiency of education at all levels. A key challenge for the education sector is the transition from primary to secondary education, with a significant percentage of students not continuing their education after Year 8.
