Australia Awards Nauru and Nauru Education Program

The Australia Awards Nauru (AAN) program is a key component of Australia's human development focused support to Nauru. AAN provides opportunities for Nauruan citizens to obtain tertiary qualifications at Australian or Pacific region institutions. The goals of the program are for alumni to contribute to the long-term development needs of Nauru, and to forge strong people-to-people and institutional links between Australia and Nauru.

The Nauru Education Program (NEP) aims to strengthen Nauru’s education sector performance and Australia’s Pacific relationships, driving shared prosperity and progress. The NEP has a focus on stronger literacy and numeracy outcomes; more equitable and relevant education pathways; and more inclusive, evidence-based, and efficient government systems.

The NEP is tailored to the local cultural context and government priorities, through Nauru’s Department of Education and Training and other Nauruan stakeholders, including staff, teachers, school leaders, and parents. Program delivery will employ unique approaches to effectively address local challenges within a resource constrained environment.
