Ngiwal (Japanese: オギワル州) is one of the sixteen states of Palau. It has a population of 282 (census 2015) and an area of 26 km². The administrative center is Ngerkeai.

On June 21, 2018, Japan ambassador Toshiyuki Yamada gave Japans multipurpose center to Ngiwal.[1]

Education

The Ministry of Education operates public schools. Palau High School in Koror is the country's only public high school, so children from this community go there.[2]

The Ngiwal state scholarship offers two scholarships. One for becoming a Palauian citizen, and one for a student at a college, university, or vocational school.[3]
