This course introduces students to policy formulation drawing on international theories

and current practices from Ministries of Education in the Pacific. The course will explore

dialectical approaches to understanding educational policy frameworks used by the

national Ministries of Education. The course will include approaches to drafting a school

policy, strategies for monitoring a school policy and implementing such a policy in the 

school context. The course will draw on examples from school policies around the

region. Also, the course will highlight emerging policy frameworks evident around the

region that are based on indigenous Pacific epistemologies. (USP Handbook Calendar,2024, p.530).
