The Falkland Islands are a nation of just 3000 people, with over 80% of those living in the capital, Stanley. All young children in town must attend the Infant and Junior School, but for the remaining rural population there is a system of small schools dotted around the country. With some settlements having just one or two children, mixed-age classes are the norm, and the teachers and the system must be flexible and adaptable to meet the many opportunities and challenges that this rural education faces.
