Education

The Teachers' Training Institute (later renamed the Tangoa Training Institute) operated on the island from 1895 to 1970,[2] when the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu established a Presbyterian Bible College there. This operated from 1971 to 1986, when it merged with the Aulua Theological Training Centre to form the Talua Ministry Training Centre.[3]
