Stakeholder Engagement in Tuvalu for TVET Online Toolkit Awareness.

The Commonwealth of Learning’s (COL) @COL4D Pacific Partnership for Open, Distance, and Flexible Learning recently hosted sensitisation workshops in Tuvalu, effectively engaging key stakeholders, including government officials, educators, and community leaders, to promote the Pacific TVET Online Toolkit. 

Held at major institutions like the Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute, the Tuvalu Atoll Science & Technology Training Institute, and the Fetuvalu Secondary School, the sessions highlighted the Toolkit’s potential for flexible, digital learning.

The event at Fetuvalu Secondary School, coinciding with a classroom commissioning attended by the Governor-General, Ministers of Education and Labour, and Ekalesia Kelisiano Tuvalu church leaders, underscored strong governmental and community support. Educators embraced the Toolkit’s micro-learning modules, signalling demand for self-paced professional development. Supported by New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) @MFATNZ, this initiative strengthens lifelong learning and workforce development in Tuvalu, aligning with goals of digital equity and education leadership.

COL’s Adviser: Skills, Mr Robert Okinda commented, “Seeing this level of engagement—from government leaders to grassroots educators—shows how ready Tuvalu is to embrace flexible, digital learning for workforce development.”

In closing, teachers and trainers welcomed the opportunity to explore the Toolkit’s micro-learning modules, reflecting a growing demand for self-paced, on-the-job professional development.
