A record number of students have graduated in Palau in a college programme which has recently been boosted with a master's programme of San Diego State University.

184 students completed their training at Palau Community College which is the highest number since 1985.

18 of those received a master's degree.

The College's president, Patrick Tellei, says enrolments have risen to 671 which is an all time high in the college's 40-year history.
