Sen­ti­ments ex­pressed as the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion (MOE) kicked-off the sec­ond round of con­sul­ta­tions and dis­cus­sions on the Na­tion­al Pol­i­cy on Ed­u­ca­tion 2022-2027, on Wednes­day De­cem­ber 1st, 2021.

An of­fi­cial state­ment from the Ed­u­ca­tion Min­istry notes that this round of con­sul­ta­tions will take place un­til De­cem­ber 17th and takes the form of work­ing group ses­sions with 22 stake­hold­er groups as well as the Na­tion­al Ed­u­ca­tion Ad­vi­so­ry Com­mit­tee. Staff of the Ed­u­ca­tion­al Plan­ning and oth­er Di­vi­sions of the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion will be fa­cil­i­tat­ing the Con­sul­ta­tion.

“This Pub­lic Con­sul­ta­tion 2021 -2022 is very im­por­tant in the pol­i­cy-mak­ing process, in that it gives stake­hold­ers own­er­ship of the even­tu­al out­come. This is es­sen­tial if the Min­istry is to achieve its goal of rel­e­vant, mod­ern, qual­i­ty ed­u­ca­tion for all learn­ers, and is par­tic­u­lar­ly im­per­a­tive in the COVID-19 era,” said Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter, Dr Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly.

Eight strate­gic ar­eas of fo­cus were among the pri­ma­ry out­comes from the Na­tion­al Con­sul­ta­tion on Ed­u­ca­tion 2020 and will be the foun­da­tion of the Ed­u­ca­tion Pol­i­cy 2022–2027: Tech­ni­cal &Vo­ca­tion­al Ed­u­ca­tion & Train­ing (TVET) Re­vi­tal­iza­tion; Cur­ricu­lum Re­form; Dig­i­tal Trans­for­ma­tion; The Ed­u­ca­tion Act; Eq­ui­ty in Qual­i­ty Ed­u­ca­tion; The Tran­si­tion of Learn­ers; As­sur­ing Stu­dent Suc­cess; and Hu­man Re­source De­vel­op­ment.

The Min­istry says Phase One of the con­sul­ta­tion brings to­geth­er stake­hold­ers in the Ed­u­ca­tion Sec­tor, par­tic­i­pat­ing in fo­cus group dis­cus­sions on the ob­jec­tives of each strate­gic area, to gar­ner their rec­om­men­da­tions for ini­tia­tives to achieve same.

These strate­gic ar­eas, ob­jec­tives and rec­om­mend­ed ac­tiv­i­ties and ini­tia­tives will form the Draft Pol­i­cy Con­cept Note on Ed­u­ca­tion 2022-2027, which will be shared with the na­tion­al pop­u­la­tion in Jan­u­ary 2022 for their views and rec­om­men­da­tions.
