GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF VANUATU Department of Strategic Policy, Planning and Aid Coordination Private Mail Bag 9053, Port Vila Vanuatu Tel: (678) 23150 Fax: 25481 GOUVERNEMENT DE LA REPUBLIQUE DU VANUATU Service de Gestion Strategiques, de la plannification et de la coordination des Aides Sac Postal Prive 9053, Port Vila Vanuatu Tel : (678) 23150 Fax : 25481 PRESS RELEASE UNDP, RTI Unit training on implementation of RTI Law Thirty-five enthusiastic nominees for Right To Information (RTI) Officers in government and statutory agencies will be undertaking a three days extensive training next month to familiarise themselves with their roles and responsibilities under the RTI Act.
The training is organised by the Right to Information Unit in partnership with UNDP from 9th to 13th April 2018.

Mrs Aylair Livingstone and Mrs Lavenia Rokovucago will be representing UNDP as RTI Consultants facilitating this training.

Mrs Livingstone has contributed to the development of the National RTI Policy and drafting of the RTI Act with assistance from the RTI Steering Committee and the State Law Office.
It is hoped that this training will help in mainstreaming the right to information in the Vanuatu public service, and in turn improving the overall freedom of expression environment for not only media but all citizens of Vanuatu.

The trainings will cover topics such as the importance of the right to information, role of RTI officer, summary of steps of processing a RTI request and appeals, as well as issues such as proactive disclosure, and how to interpret exemptions in the RTI Law.
In addition, a one-day training is planned for officers of the RTI Unit and a day is also allocated for members of the RTI Steering Committee.

This is the first RTI training organised for Right to Information officials in Vanuatu.

It is a huge step forward in the implementation of the RTI Law.

We also know that for a culture of disclosure to flourish, there needs to be a system of ongoing training for other public servants at each public body.
An invitation has been sent out to all Government Agencies and Relevant Private Entities by the Hon.

Prime Minister Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas to nominate their RTI Officers to represent their agencies in this coming training.

Nominations of RTI Officers in agencies are being sent in to the RTI Unit and has been finalised.

The training will be hosted at the Multifunctional Hall of the Prime Minister’s Office.

Notifications will be sent out to all RTI Officers to attend the training.
For more information, please contact: Harold Obed, Manager or June Naviti, Records Management Officer Right to Information Unit rti@vanuatu.gov.vu Tel.

Right to Read Act S. 1307 / H.R.

2889 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Literacy opens the door for lifelong opportunity and economic success.

And the data show that school libraries make a big difference in giving kids the skills and inspiration to become proficient and enthusiastic readers.
Students who utilize school libraries have 73% higher literacy rates than students who do not, and the positive impact of effective school libraries is highest for marginalized groups, including students experiencing poverty, students of color, and students with disabilities.

But not every student has access to library services.

The U.S. Department of Education reports that 2.5 million students are enrolled in districts where there are no school libraries.
An estimated 1 out of 10 schools in America does not have a school library and 30% of U.S. public schools do not have full time librarians.

Students experiencing the highest levels of poverty are 30% more likely to attend a school without a school library.
And while school libraries are most effective when they offer resources that resonate, engage, and empower students and that align with their first amendment rights, 32 states have enacted bans on books that disproportionately limit access to titles with LGBTQ+ characters and characters of color.

The Right to Read Act will address the disparities in access to school library resources.
It will increase the federal investment in literacy by reauthorizing Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grants at $500 million, and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program at $100 million, targeting critical literacy resources in high need communities.

The bill protects access to quality reading materials, and provides the resources needed to create a foundation for learning and student success.

FIVE REASONS TO SUPPORT THE BILL 1.


The Right to Read Act ensures that low-income, minority children, children with disabilities, and English language learners are not disproportionally enrolled in schools that lack effective school libraries.

Right to Read is endorsed by: 2.

Supports the development of effective school libraries, including the recruitment, retention and professional development of state- certified school librarians.

3.
3.

Protects access to linguistically and developmentally appropriate, evidence-based reading instruction, effective school libraries, family literacy support, culturally diverse and inclusive materials, reading materials in the home, and the freedom to choose reading materials.
4.Reaffirms that first amendment rights apply to school libraries, in response to the growing trend of book banning, which currently affects students and schools in 32 states, limiting inquiry and access to information that reflects diverse views and experiences.

5.

Provides protections for school staff acting to provide access to reading materials.
