How the education pathway works
The pathway mirrors the ECE, primary, community high school, provincial secondary and national secondary categories in that table.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Early childhood education | Early years | ECE centres precede formal primary schooling. |
| Primary education | Primary | Primary schools form the main early school stage. |
| Community high schools | Community secondary | Community high schools provide secondary-level education. |
| PSS and NSS | Provincial/national secondary | Provincial and national secondary schools form additional secondary routes. |
Key evidence
The 24-school secondary card is a simple sum of 16 provincial and 8 national secondary schools, with both components shown in the label.
| Measure | Value | Year | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| ECE centres | 524 | Current statistics | Education authorities combined |
| Primary schools | 512 | Current statistics | Education authorities combined |
| Community high schools | 153 | Current statistics | CHS |
| Secondary schools | 24 | Current statistics | 16 provincial + 8 national |
* Reference years and benchmark labels are shown with the figures.
How to read the Solomon Islands evidence
Community high schools remain separate from that 24-school total and should not be double-counted.
The page avoids using very old literacy figures when current school-network evidence is available.
