The Waka Moana Learning Hub offers an extensive range of resources, professional learning materials, and research findings to support the development of literacy, numeracy, and non-cognitive skills to both educators and students. It provides platform for countries in the Pacific region to share resources and learn from each other’s experiences. The WMLH adopts a multi-dimensional approach incorporating online, print/in-person, and radio mediums to ensure widespread access to educational resources across the Pacific region.
This initiative is the outcome of a collaboration under the Pacific Regional Education Framework (PacREF), and the Institute of Education (IoE) and USP ITS division, marking a crucial step towards fostering positive change in Pacific classrooms.
