Action Plan for Pacific Education 2020–2030

What is the Action Plan for Pacific Education?

The Action Plan for Pacific Education (the Action Plan) maps the Government’s commitment to transforming outcomes for Pacific learners and families and signals how early learning services, schools and tertiary providers can achieve change for Pacific learners and their families.

The Action Plan was launched in July 2020 and set out the Government actions we had committed to in 2020. We committed to regularly monitor and report on the progress of the Action Plan and to regularly update the Government actions in the Action Plan to make sure that we capture all the work Government is doing.
