This special event brought together government departments, organizations, businesses, students, and community stakeholders to showcase services, programs, products, and opportunities that can benefit students and the wider public.

As part of the Department of Statisticsโ€™ participation, we had the opportunity to engage with students, share information about official statistics, and explain how data supports better planning, decision-making, and community development in Vanuatu.

It was encouraging to see students showing interest, asking questions, and learning more about the important role of statistics in education, government services, business, and everyday life.

Thank you to Tafea College for the invitation and for providing a platform that promotes learning, awareness, networking, and community engagement.
