Maldives Education system has undergone many changes during the previous years. There are three kinds of traditional institutions namely the Kiyavaage, the Makthab and the Madhrasaa. All these institutes have great contribution towards the educational development of the country. The high literacy rate (93%) of Maldives is a result of the genuine effort of these three types of educational institutes.
The Makthabs mainly teaches the young pupils of Maldives to read and write in Arabic and Dhivehi. Simple mathematics is also included in the course. The Madhrasaa focuses on the importance of literary skill.
In 1984 a new curriculum was introduced for primary and middle school in Maldives. According to this curriculum more emphasis should be given on Dhivehi language, environmental studies, science, English language, mathematics, fine arts, calligraphy and physical education.
The government is trying to improve the standard of education in Maldives. Many more schools (including English medium) are opening up in the country.
