And A-levels. Due to a small population, there is no point in hiring A-level teachers for a class of 20 students, especially when they all want to take separate subjects, so the Falkland government will pay for us to study A-levels and university degrees.

Is there a choice, or do you have to go to the UK? Do a lot of people come back, or leave Falklands forever?

We do have a choice, we can leave school, do an apprenticeship, or do A-levels or a BTEC in the UK, followed by a degree anywhere we want in the world, but most choose the UK. Generally, most students will return back, but some leave forever, or return a lot later.

Thanks. I just find this the most interesting thing ever.

Sorry if I sound really ignorant...

Can you get amazon deliveries to the Falklands?

Don't worry about it. We can get some Amazon deliveries, but we don't get a lot of stuff. The only things that we can usually get is books, CDs and DVDs.
