FREE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
Love The Oceans works with two local primary schools, Guinjata and Paindane Primary School, delivering classes on Marine Resource Management and Sea Safety. Since 2015 Love The Oceans has taught over 750 children, and delivered free swimming lessons to over 600 children. As part of Love The Oceans education projects, our volunteers paint educational murals and we invest in improving existing teaching facilities and building new classrooms. As a result of Love The Oceans maintenance and construction work, parents no longer have to pay the mandatory maintenance fee that they previously had to pay to send their children to school, which means that our educational projects are currently sponsoring free education for almost 1500 children. Love The Oceans education projects will also facilitate the establishment of the first secondary schools in the area: The local authorities have agreed to elevate Guinjata and Paindane School to secondary school status by providing teachers and teaching materials, once each of the schools reach 10 solid classrooms.
