Our Ministry is well and truly enjoying one-on-one consultations with agencies and partners, having commenced recently with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and the Office of the Public Service Commission (OPSC).

These individual consultations provide an opportunity for our partners to have open and confidential dialogue with our team. Whether you have innovative suggestions, specific concerns or comments, or wish to express your thoughts, we are here to listen and engage with you. Your input is crucial in helping us understand the needs and aspirations of our community, ensuring that our initiatives align with your expectations.

We sincerely appreciate your commitment to our shared vision and your active involvement in shaping the future of Education in the Cook Islands. Your voice matters, and we look forward to connecting soon.

The Ministry of Education (MoE) will be visiting the Northern Pa Enua from next Monday 29 May to Friday 2nd June 2023.  The team will be meeting with community members, educators, families and students to discuss the Ministry’s future strategic priorities and hear about their aspirations for education and how the MoE can better serve the needs of their respective islands.

The travelling consultation team will be visiting the islands of Pukapuka, Manihiki, Rakahanga and Penrhyn, and look forward to connecting on our shared vision for quality Cook Islands education.

On return from the Northern Group, further One on One consultations will be held with all interested stakesholders.
