Education

The Ministry of Education operates public schools.

Meyuns Elementary School was built circa 1969 and expanded in 1973. It was established due to the destruction of the Koror Elementary School in Koror by Typhoon Sally, which Meyuns students previously attended. The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands administration was previously not interested in building a school in Meyuns.^[1]

Palau High School in Koror is the country's only public high school, it is attended by children from the Meyuns community.^[2]
