2. For Sustainability and Success

Maldives’ greatest resource has always been its people - progressive, dynamic, and resilient. In 1980, with assistance from UNDP and other partners, the country began efforts to develop and standardize its schooling system. Three years later, for the first time, primary schools unified under a single, well-developed curriculum were established across the country. From then on, the nation has continued on an uphill trajectory rooted in lasting, knowledge-based empowerment.
