| Abstract | In the search for answers as to the essence of quality education and equity in learning in Palau rural schools, I chose to conduct my study on Tobi1 Elementary School. As a person of Hatohobei2 , I have a vested interest in the issues surrounding the school; it is one of Palau’s rural public elementary schools. The question that this study attempts to answer was well put by Hezel (2000) when he stated, “WHAT SHOULD OUR SCHOOL BE DOING?”3 This study is a survey research to look at the perceived importance of a school on Hatohobei. In my search for studies on issues related to Tobi Elementary School, I was unable to find any studies in existence, therefore, this is the first study ever conducted to examine the perceived importance of having a public elementary school on the island. |
