In Montserrat education is prized and the Montserratians are proud of their high educational standards. Education begins around the age of five when Montserratian children attend primary school. They attend primary school until about the age of 12 when all children take a aptitude test which determines whether they will move to secondary school. Prior to the volcano a couple forms of tertiary education also existed on Montserrat, including the Montserrat Technical College.
