The Australian Government is launching its BRIDGE School Partnership Programme in the Pacific.
The scheme, which will build relationships between Australian and Pacific Island schools, is building on the success of the same scheme which has involved Asian schools over the last decade.
The Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, explained to Don Wiseman what Australia is aiming to achieve.
