Since residents are spread over 200 inhabited islands, a unified education was difficult. However, the nation understood the importance of education for their future success and, with the aid of UNICEF, a unified education programme was created. The internet was used for long-distance teaching and children, parents and caregivers were all urged to take an active role in education.<\/p>\n<h4>A whale watcher&#8217;s dream<\/h4>\n<p>The Maldives ranks as one of the top five places for whale- and dolphin-watching in the world, with 23 different species of cetaceans having been recorded in its waters. Trips run all year round and it\u2019s not uncommon to spot up to 2,500 of whales and dolphins in a single outing. From dwarf sperm whales, false killer whales to real killer whales, you will also see bottlenose dolphins, striped and spotted dolphins and pilot whales. If you\u2019re lucky, you might also see the world\u2019s largest fish, the Whale Shark, cruising the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-large wp-image-14695 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-1024x576.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27576%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20576%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273576%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/georg-wolf-WAgBaYHRaL4-unsplash-scaled-e1592797756877.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Maldives has some of the smallest islands on earth<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apart from its popularity as an amazing island destination, the Maldives is also famous for having some of the tiniest islands on the planet.
