Universities are located only on the major islands, including Vanuatu, Fiji, Guam, and Samoa.
B
Colonial languages, such as English and French, are used as the teaching languages at the universities.
C
All islands have primary and secondary schools.
D
All island children finish secondary school.

Explanation

The false statement is “All island children finish secondary school.” Having schools available does not mean every student completes secondary education; some leave school before graduating. The other statements describe where universities are located and the colonial languages often used for university instruction.
