  • North Tarawa Social and Economic Report 2008 2 of 2
    - 41 - 3.5.7. Community involvement to improve standard of education Normally the community does not interfere with the school curriculum, as it is the responsibility of Government to design them to suit the ages being taught to and ensure their effective implementation. However the community, through the school committee, often takes the initiative to address a wide range of other issues, such as children and teachers comfort, security, staffing, sports, and even school infrastructure. In a lot of cases, the teachers have to take the initiative and assign each pupil a specific task to do for a class activity or a school project at which times, the children always seek and are given help and support from families. This kind of help and support from individual families can take the form of money, food or their own involvement such as in the building of a school ‘mwaneaba’ or singing in a school dancing practice and competition etc. Over the past years the community has assisted both the primary and junior secondary schools especially in performing critical maintenance work on classrooms, offices and teacher residences. These buildings are by right the responsibility of Government who, in many cases has been very slow in providing the financial support needed to keep school infrastructure in good shape. North Tarawa is not an exception in these slow provisions of financial support from the Government, Despite this, the community continue to support their school children and their schools by being guardians of the school property as well as in provision of pupil/student’s school needs for school activities or other school requirements as may arise from time to time.

    Kiribati (a.k.a. Gilbertese) Helps for Reading Vital Records Alan Marchant, 29 January 2021 Alphabet • Kiribati uses only the following letters. All other letters are rare before the late 20th century, except in foreign names. A B E I K M N NG O R T U W • The letter T is very common, especially at the beginning of names. The uppercase cursive T can sometimes be confused with the unlikely P or S. Lower-case t is often written with the cross-bar shifted right, detached from the vertical stroke. • Lower-case g is the only letter with a down-stroke. It exists only in the combination ng (equivalent to ñ). • The cursive lower-case n and u are about equally common and are not easily distinguished; lower-case n and r are more distinguishable.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 489 I-Kiribati
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 489 I-KIRIBATI KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGEMENT OF TARAWA'S LAGOON RESOURCES BY R.E. JOHANNES AND BEING YEETING ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. JUNE 2000 I-KIRIBATI KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGEMENT OF TARAWA'S LAGOON RESOURCES ABSTRACT Knowledge of the fishermen of Tarawa Atoll, Kiribati concerning some key food fish in their waters is described and shown to be highly relevant to the management of these fish. The bonefish, AZbula glossodonta, has been the most important shallow- water finfish in Tarawa catches. However, all but one of its known spawning runs has been eliminated according to fishermen and this last remaining run is showing signs of severe depletion. Traditional marine resources management measures, some conservation-driven and others with different objectives, were diverse. But they have largely disappeared due, in part at least, to the impacts of British colonial rule. Reestablishing some form of local marine tenure seems essential to sound marine resource management, although the difficulties that would be encountered in doing so are not trivial. INTRODUCTION This report describes the results of an investigation of local knowledge concerning Tarawa's marine resources, as well as local customs relating to their exploitation and management. The study was part of a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project designed to assist in formulating a contemporary marine resource management plan for Tarawa Atoll. The study involved interviews with fishermen and other knowledgeable I-Kiribati throughout the atoll over a total period of three weeks between February, 1992 and October, 1993.
