Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas, MP- Minister of Education Ministry of Education Port Vila, Vanuatu.

Dear, Honourable Minister, I have the honour in submitting to you the 2009 Annual Report of the Ministry of Education.

This report has been prepared under subsection 20 (1) (L) of the Public Service Act of 1998 and in accordance with the guidelines for the preparation of Annual Reports referred to in this subsection and related documents issued by the Public Service Commission.
Year 2009 has been another challenging year.

A lot has been done to implement the agreed activities from the programs under the Vanuatu Education Support Action Plan (VESAP).

The Vanuatu Education Support Action Plan 2008-2009 was funded jointly by AusAID and NZAID from August 2008 to December 2009.
This funding arrangement addresses a transitional period for the Government of Vanuatu and the Development Partners as they work towards the establishment of a Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) in the Education Sector.

This report particularly focuses on the description of each activity under each programme; it highlights the allocated budget towards each programme activities and the actual amount spent; the purpose of the activity, the challenges encountered and the achievements.
At this stage, I wish to thank the team of people who have worked tirelessly in realizing the changes that have taken place to date.

First of all to yourself as Minister responsible, for not only rendering me your full support, but in particular for the level of wisdom expended in navigating the changes, culminating in the successes we have experienced to date.

The political advisors made the most difference in working together as a strong team in terms of unconditional support that was rendered.
The Directors, both Principals of VIT and Vanuatu Institute of Teacher Education (VITE) and the Secretary to the TSC, the PEO‟s and the general staff have all contributed in their very unique ways in realizing these positive changes.
Honourable Minister, as you are fully aware, the Ministry of Education is currently going through major changes and I strongly believe that those changes as they unfold, will be of significant benefit not only to the school children of Vanuatu but also for the youth and adult population at large in the years to come.

Yours sincerely, Wilson Tari Vuti, Acting Director General 16th June 2010 Page 4 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report Fig.

 The sub-sectors of early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, technical vocational education and training (TVET), distance education, and tertiary education  Educational services such as teacher training, curriculum, examinations, and the national scholarships office  National advisory groups such as the National Education Commission and the National Education Advisory Council  The Teaching Service Commission  Education Authorities, notably the churches that were registered to manage some schools.
 The Department of Education and six Provincial Education Offices and their Boards which provide overall leadership, management, monitoring and evaluation of the sector.

2009 Enrolments Note that the primary figure accounts for the year levels 1-8 that are only found in the primary schools The distribution number of students in the above table is made by school type.
The total number of pupils in pre-school only includes pupils that enrolled in 2008 in the registered kindergarten schools regardless of age.

The number of primary school students only involves pupils from class 1 to 6 whereas in secondary schools it covers students that enrolled in year 7 to 14 in 2008.
16th June 2010 Page 7 Early Childhood EducationPrimary SchoolSecondary SchoolTotal200513172397381220165111200614056382381350665800200711934376241515364711200811536380571643566028 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report Number of schools by school type in 2006-2008 There are three main types of schools operating in the formal education sector of Vanuatu: Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres, or Pre-Schools; Primary Schools (PS); and Secondary Schools (SS).
ECEs are generally operated by communities, to provide young children (usually aged 3 – 5) with introductory schooling before starting Primary School.

Primary School starts at Year 1 in Vanuatu, and continues to year 6, before pupils enter Junior Secondary schooling at Year 7.

Secondary schools usually offer years 7 to 13, with a small number of French institutions also offering Year 14 as a preparatory level for pupils wanting to go on to higher education.
The table above shows the number of ECEs, Primary Schools (PS) and Secondary Schools (SS) over the years 2006 – 2008.

There has been a big decrease in the number of ECEs operating during this time.

This is due to a number of factors, including the limited funding available to support the running of ECEs, and the Government‟s recent focus on establishing „model kindy‟s‟ that teach an approved national curriculum and have trained teachers.
The increase in the number of model kindies has lead to the closure of many informal ECE centres in the rural areas.

On the other hand the number of primary schools decreases each year due to:  We are uncertain about the data of 2006 and suspect it might have been artificially inflated;  The closing of certain primary schools between 2007 and 2008.

In total, 11 primary schools were closed due to the lack of finance and all of them are private schools.
The number of the secondary schools remains stable since 2006.

Number of Teachers in each Sector, by Gender and by Province The above table shows the total number of male and female teachers in each sector by Gender, by Province.

For example, out of the total 694 female ECE teacher, 153 of them were teaching in Malampa.

Note that the total number of teacher is less by 2 in the above table, because the gender identity of two teachers has not been specified.

They are to; a) Increased access to education; To achieve the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals on Universal Primary Education and literacy, a feasibility study on school access and fees was planned to be undertaken under VESAP.

The purpose of this activity was to identify possible new school models and to study the possibility of improving access by removing fees in primary schools.
However, this activity did not happen, since the Government directly embarked on its fee free Universal Primary Education policy in 2009.

The first variation to VESAP provided funds for incentive grants for schools to set up bank accounts with the National Bank of Vanuatu, and to fund financial management training as preparation towards the 2010 Primary School Grants Program.
b) Improved quality of education; There are a number of activities in VESAP that addresses the issue of improving the quality of education.

Pre-school material was procured and successfully delivered to schools.

Consultations on the National Curriculum Statement were held.

Stationery was procured and delivered to schools.

VITE successfully implemented a “Pre-service teacher training harmonized framework”.

The review of education legislation did not occur.


The implementation of the In-service Unit activity was poor.

The book flood activity failed to reach its targets in 2009. c) Enhanced MoE management; and The management of the Ministry depends upon the availability of good quality data in VEMIS.

VEMIS was strengthened by the recruitment of Data Entry Officers.

Funds were allocated for the collection of data and training for MoE staff in data analysis and interpretation.
The Audit Unit was established and strengthened by the contracting two auditors and an international TA.

16th June 2010 Page 12 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report d) Development of national human resource development planning The Council of Ministers directed that the Ministry of Education be the leading Ministry in the development of a National Human Resources Development Plan.
Hence under VESAP, the Ministry of Education was to carry out a tracer study of scholarships undertaken and/or completed since 1999.

The activity was carried out successfully and a report was produced.

This was the first move towards the development of the National HRD plan.

16th June 2010 Page 13 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report Report on the Implementation of the Development Projects under VESAP Program 1; Access VESAP Activity: Feasibility study on School Access and Fees Project No.
08H75401 Budget: 1,000,0000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to identify possible new school models and to study the possibility of improving access by removing fees in primary schools.

The activity was postponed owing to the establishment of the School Grant Policy in 2009 by the government of the day.

It was planned for the study to be undertaken in 2010.

Program 2: To improve quality VESAP Activity: Improve Existing Facilities & Logistic Study Project No.
08H75402 Budget: 202,109,999, Vatu The purpose of this activity was to start to refurbish and renovate some of Vanuatu‟s major existing primary schools.

A Technical Assistant was to be recruited to coordinate and study the logistics.

The TA was also to assist the MoE to harmonize the delivery of stationery and to study the best way to deliver stationery along with other equipment and materials.

Challenges: Not all schools were refurbished or renovated as planned owing to the approach adopted by the TA.
The approach focused on renovating schools on a province-by-province basis, rather than on a systematic multi-province approach.

What was achieved?

In 2009, 17 classrooms were built (1 double classroom for Eratap, 1 double classroom for Magarango school, 4 new classrooms for Itakuma, 4 new classrooms for Kokonak.
The following construction or renovation started in 2009 and was completed in 2010: 14 new classrooms in Tafea, 1 new double classroom in Eratap, 1 double classroom in Benbon, 1 double classroom in Brenwei, and renovations in Olal, Sesivi, Silua, and Pangi primary schools.

16th June 2010 Page 14 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report VESAP Activity: Curriculum Statement Project No.08H75403 Budget: 15,890,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to develop the National Curriculum Statement for Vanuatu.
The National Curriculum Statement is the document which schools will use to ensure that teaching and learning programs enable all students to meet the requirements of the Vanuatu curriculum.

Challenges: Credit to the small number of curriculum officers, inspectors and clerical staff who gave up many weekends and after hours to organize the Forums and to prepare documents.

What was achieved?
What was achieved?

After consultations, a draft Vanuatu National Curriculum Statement has been developed VESAP Activity: VITE Curriculum Harmonization Project No.08H75404 Budget: 4,000,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to harmonize the VITE Pre-Service Curriculum Framework curriculum.

VITE is still not harmonized in terms of entry criteria, structures, content and assessment of courses.

What was achieved?
What was achieved?

The document: „Pre-Service Teacher Training: A New Harmonized Framework’ including criteria, structures, content and assessment of courses as well as 90 Course Outlines were developed and written involving all VITE lecturers.

VITE ready to start new programs with 2010 trainees‟ intake.
VESAP Activity: In-Service Unit (ISU) Project No.08H75405 Budget: 24, 826,400 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to establish the In-Service Unit Challenges: The ISU Manager, Primary Coordinator, Secondary Coordinator and the administrative officer were working on a temporary basis and were not formally appointed in 2009.

The office was not set up & opened in 2009.

There was no training undertaken in 2009.

What was achieved: The renovation of the building was completed.
Office equipment and furniture were purchased.

Visits to 5 schools on Santo & 5 schools on Malekula occurred to collect information on training needs.
16th June 2010 Page 15 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report VESAP Activity: Book Flood Project No.08H75406 Budget: 80,750,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to procure reading books and cupboards for French and English primary schools, including year 5 and 6, and distribute them to the selected schools Challenge: The Ministry of Education lacks an officer with knowledge of the National Tender Board procedures and processes.
Another challenge was the delay (several months) caused by MoE and State Law Office in approving the contracts template.

What was achieved?

The books have not yet been delivered to schools.

Books and cupboards were, however, ordered and paid for.
VESAP Activity: Stationery Project No.08H75407 Budget: 94,440,220 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to provide stationery to all government and government assisted primary schools in all provinces Challenge: The challenge has been completing the activities in a timely way.

What was achieved?

The activity was implemented without much difficulty and all stationery supplies were distributed to all state schools between February and March of 2009.
VESAP Activity: Pre-School Material Project No.08H75408 Budget: 13,514,297 Vatu The proposed activity aims to help actual long-established pre-schools to renew their material.

.

The challenges faced are the same for all Provinces:  Funds were received late, so work started late.

 There was difficulty with transport for some ports where ships and planes do not make regular calls.

 Weather was also one reason why work was occasionally delayed.
 Communities usually have a lot of other activities going on, and ECE is usually at the bottom of their list.

ECE is not a priority for many leaders/parents.

What was achieved?

All Provinces have selected 35 pre schools, with priority given to the schools that are attached to a Primary School.

All Provinces have reported 100% completion except for Shefa.

9 pre schools in Epi have upgrades done to their buildings and their teachers will be getting training in June 2010.
100 percent selected pre schools received a copy of the curriculum and the kindabuk.

16th June 2010 Page 16 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report Program 3: Improve MoE Capacity and School Management VESAP Activity: VEMIS Survey 2008 Project No.08H75409 Budget: 13,000,000 vatu The purpose of this activity was to continue updating and upgrading the 2008 VEMIS database.

Challenge: The server was down at the end of 2009 and affected VEMIS work.
When problems occur in the IT system, the VEMIS Unit does not have the expertise to fix them.

Hence, they need to liaise with UNIQUEST, which is not always easy.

The VEMIS unit lacks manpower, and the urgent recruitment of an extra statistician is crucial for reducing workload and maintaining continuity in the work of VEMIS.

The lack of a competent VEMIS Manager is also a challenge.

What was achieved?

All planned VEMIS training was undertaken.

VEMAC meetings were held.


A VEMIS pre-service teaching module was developed with VITE.

User of the system requires basic skills in operating the system as well as interpretation of the statistics and provision of reports.

The VEMIS Survey of 2008-2009 was done.

The rate of return of survey returns forms was 100% for the 2008-2009 year.

This activity absorbed the major portion of the VEMIS funds.

The VEMIS system was upgraded 4 times to create new fields in the system.
The VEMIS Survey Manual was reviewed.

2008 and 2009 baseline data were established, and were used to design the 2008 and 2009 budget.
VESAP Activity: Strengthening of Audit Unit Project No.08H75410 Budget: 5,900,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to expand and strengthen the capacity of the Internal Audit Unit, ensuring it was adequately resourced with non- salary funding and technical assistance to undertake a structured rolling program of Head Office, PEO and school audits (Financial Capacity Assessment, 2007).
Challenge: Given the new government policy on UPE, the Internal Audit Unit also assisted the Ministry of Finance with the implementation of the new school bank accounts by monitoring progress and checking bank confirmations of closures.

What was achieved?

The following documents were developed: Internal Audit Handbook, Internal Audit Charter drafted, and Internal Control Questionnaire for school audits finalized and implemented.
There were courses and workshops conducted for Internal Audit staff to strengthen their capacity.

In 2009, 48 schools were audited.

16th June 2010 Page 17 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report VESAP Activity: Additional Finance Officers Project No.08H75411 Budget: 3,700,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity is to recruit two additional finance officers to reinforce the Head Office Finance Unit.
The two officers to be recruited were: a senior programme budgeting officer, with responsibility for overall coordination of medium term and annual budgeting and costing of the education SWAp, and an Accountant tasked with full time responsibility for financial management and donor-assisted projects/programs What was the funding used for?

The two officers were recruited in 2009 and contracted up to 31st December 2009.

Challenge: No challenge What was achieved?


Two Finance officers were appointed as planned.

VESAP Activity: MTEF and FC TA Study on Models of Pro-poor Scholarship Project No.08H75412 Budget: 1,000,000 The purpose of this activity is to refine and further develop the education MTEF, especially the costing and sequencing of its individual components.
At the same time the project was intended to design and cost the financial management component of an overall MoE capacity building program to help strengthen MoE capacity for program design, costing and prioritization.

Challenge: The main challenge was actually implementing the activity.

The terms of reference for the role of the international technical assistant were not developed by the MOE.

What was achieved?
What was achieved?

There was no achievement as activity was not implemented VESAP Activity: VESS facilitator Project No.08H75413 Budget: 1,000,000 The fund was developed to meet administrative costs for the VESS facilitator.

The facilitator will advise and assist MoE senior staff with the successful implementation of the VESS through improved sector coordination and management.
Other roles of the facilitator were to assist MoE to achieve well coordinated sector planning and budgeting, management, monitoring and progress reporting in order to achieve the goals set out in the VESS Challenges: The formalization and setting up of Technical Working Groups were delayed.

The respective roles of MoE and MFEM in relation to VESS implementation were not clear.

What was achieved?

A long term expert was contracted for 18 months, starting from August 2008.
Seven (7) workshops on SWAp were conducted at the MoE and 2 in the provinces.

The Facilitator also ran SWAp sessions for the Education Partners Group.

A session on decentralization was also conducted.

TOR for JRM and Technical Working Group were developed.

The following documents were developed: Progress Report model, the Manual on Proceedings for Implementing VESS, VESAP & PAF.
16th June 2010 Page 18 Ministry of Education 2009 Annual Report Program 4: National Human Resources Development Plan VESAP Activity: Tracer study Project No.08H75414 Budget: 5,000,000 The purpose of this activity was to undertake a tracer study of scholarships undertaken and/or completed since 1999.
Challenges: The lack of staffing and weak capacity in the MOE HRD Unit, and the full workload of the Scholarships Unit, means that it will be difficult for the MOE to follow up adequately this report and the associated draft National Human Resource Development Plan, which was developed in December 2007.

The MOE plans to recommend that responsibility for this activity be transferred to a control department such as the Prime Minister‟s Office.
The report was done in isolation without proper consultation with the MoE.

No presentation of the findings was done to the Ministry of Education What was achieved?
The tracer study report was produced in the first half of 2010 but not used by the MoE, Program 5: Collective Bargain Agreement VESAP Activity: Teachers transfer allowance backlog payment Project No.08H75415 Budget: 114,210,000 Vatu The purpose of this activity was to get the outstanding transfer allowances for the teachers paid as stated in the Teaching Service Staff Rules of 1985, paragraph 6.12 (b).
The amended in 1994 state that ”that an officer who has been transferred from his home island to an urban area, or to another island, or to an urban area on home-island will be entitled to receive an allowance of 2,500 vatus per month”.

The amendment was made but never budgeted for and paid.

The allowance was incurred from 1994 to 2005 when the transfer allowance entitlement ceased when The Teaching Service Commission amended the Teaching Service Staff rules effective as of 1 January 2005.
Challenges: The challenge was to fund the backlog of teacher expenses at one time (VTU and Non VTU members).

The MoE and TSC have no proper teachers records which makes it difficult to cover teachers who entitle.

What was achieved?
