FEdMM reform (a) PHES was informed about an outcome of the FEdMM review for reform which included, among others, the high turnover of Ministers at the FEdMM, unpreparedness of Ministers for the FEdMM, limited sense of ownership with the FEdMM agenda by Ministers, and lack of a formal reporting mechanism of the FEdMM outcomes to the Forum Leaders.

2 3. TVET regional framework (a) PHES was informed about a draft regional framework for TVET which is an outcome of a number of meetings and a regional symposium on TVET in December 2011 and which will be finalized and presented to the HRD Working Group on 30 March 2012 before it is presented to the FEdMM 2012 for approval and action. (b) PHES noted the working document on the draft regional framework for TVET. (c) PHES also noted the next step of developing an M&E framework. 4. Update on the development of the principal and head teacher standards (a) PHES was informed about the background for the development of Pacific professional standards for school principals, the current situation (draft standards with a tool ready for endorsement by the FEdMM 2012), and some details about the draft standards such as the four key focus areas (school leadership, school management, teaching and learning, and community partnership) and components under each of the four key focus areas. (b) PHES agreed that the draft Pacific professional standards for school principals will be submitted to the FEdMM 2012 for approval. (c) PHES agreed to request development partners to assist in developing tools and instruments based on the regional standards which will cover the overall process of monitoring principals performance after the approval of the standards by FEdMM. (d) Interested countries were encouraged to approach development partners for support in adapting the regional standards as well as the tools and instruments to a local context. 5. Pacific benchmarking education quality for results (PaBER) (a) PHES was informed about the background of the PaBER, its three components (learning assessment, policy and system assessment, and policy in practice case studies) and some update on the preparatory work. It was also informed that a PaBER design document together with the budget and a work plan for Year 1 was reviewed in March 2012 and PaBER is expected to commence in July (b) PHES noted the progress of the PaBER initiative. (c) In relation to a regional learning assessment tool, i.e. the Pacific Islands Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (PILNA), all countries were encouraged to participate in the PILNA in order to set a sound regional baseline. So far only three countries have expressed their willingness to participate so far. 6. Climate change and disaster risk management education (a) PHES was informed about a proposal for two additions to the FEdMM paper which was presented at the last PHES meeting in August 2011, i.e. (i) improving integration of disaster risk management into the paper and (ii) the establishment of a core working group. (b) PHES noted the integrated approach of climate change and disaster risk management in education, endorsed the formation of the core working group to report to the PHES, and endorsed the draft revised goal and objectives as the basis for developing the framework and priority areas. 2

(d) PHES noted the suggested priorities for which were prepared by the PIFS Taskforce and will be submitted to the FEdMM Update on the Pacific ECCE Council (a) PHES was informed about an update on the Pacific ECCE Council in accordance with the decision made at the last PHES meeting in 2011 on providing a regular update for PHES. The update included two major outcomes from a Pacific ECCE Directors meeting held in late February They are: (i) development of a regional guidance document on national quality ECCE framework and (ii) formation of the Pacific ECCE Council. (b) The regional guidance document was developed based on a broad agreement among the participating countries in the areas of policy, workforce development, curriculum and others. Membership of the Council comprises each of the 14 countries (Ministry of Education or Ministry responsible for ECCE) and regional development partners. The steering committee of the Council will consist of some representatives from 14 countries and 2 regional organizations. Four countries of Fiji, Nauru, Tonga and Tuvalu will be members of the steering committee. (c) Possible areas of future activities identified at the meeting include: networking for advocacy and communication initiative, setting up a website on the Council, bringing together the evidence in relation to financing ECCE, research work on barriers and bottlenecks for ECCE access, and development of key policy briefs on costing, learning outcomes, and why investment in ECCE pays off. 9. Monitoring and evaluation framework for the PEDF (a) PHES was informed about a proposed process of the development of M&E for the PEDF, major challenges of setting up M&E systems in the Pacific and some key elements to be considered in moving forward with M&E in the Pacific. (b) There were some comments and concerns, including how relevant indicators will be identified, a risk of duplicating the development of an M&E framework at national and regional levels, starting the process of developing an M&E framework at national and regional levels at the same time if a country does not have a country-specific M&E framework, and importance of integration/alignment of an M&E framework to avoid duplication of reporting on the progress at national and regional levels. (c) It was suggested that (i) PIFS will report to the FEdMM on the current situation of the M&E framework in each country and (ii) the PIFS recommended M&E framework for the PEDF will be shared and countries will examine how it will be used in the development of a country-specific M&E framework or in its integration/alignment of the country M&E framework. (d) PHES agreed with the reformulated recommendation that PHES will consider the process for developing an M&E framework for the PEDF and provide guidance to the 3

4 way forward because of the fact that the M&E framework for the PEDF is not completed. 10.
