Children and young people are learning and developing
This initiative works to ensure that Pacific learners and their families have their identities, languages and cultures valued and respected and have the skills, knowledge, and equitable opportunities to pursue any educational pathway. This will be done by partnering with communities to focus on achieving outcomes for Pacific learners, growing the cultural competency of the workforce, and providing opportunities to learn in Pacific languages.
Implementing the initiative so far has included:
- development of professional learning and development materials that will enable teachers and leaders to engage with Tapasā
- 47 providers confirmed to deliver a Parent Responsive Education programme in 63 locations, including 13 school-led providers
- 25 schools identified to participate in additional Developing Mathematical Communities of Inquiry in 2020
- scoping work completed on community-based education pilots as part of the Action Plan for Pacific Education
- fono with Pacific bilingual teachers to determine the need for and priority order for resource development.
