Add your comment!In August 2022 the Falkland Islands ExCo approved a set of recommendations on the way that Camp Education is provided to families. The recommendations were made after extensive consultation with the communities in Camp and in Stanley during the Camp Education Review. A key objective of the review was ensuring that children in Camp and Stanley have the same standard of education.
2021 is the 125th anniversary of Camp Education in the Falkland Islands and with it being “such a fundamental part of what makes the Falklands the unique environment it is we should all be involved in celebrating it,” former Camp teacher Heather Norman told Penguin News.
