| Title: Principles and processes of educational planning in the Pacific Author: Puamau, Priscilla Qolisaya Subject: | Educational leadership|Oceania Educational planning|Oceania PRIDE Project (Fiji) | Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies vol.28, no.1-2, 2006 Collation: 20 - 38; Abstract: Chapter 3 of Pacific Education Series Book 1: Educational Planning in the Pacific: principles and guidelines, edited by Priscilla Puamau and G.R. (Bob) Teasdale. This chapter provides an analysis of the educational principles and processes articulated by the 31 key educational planners and data managers who attended the first Pacific Regional Initiatives for the Delivery of basic Education (PRIDE) regional workshop on educational planning held on 2004 in Fiji. Strongly embedded in the PRIDE Project is the notion of ownership, with the conviction that Ministers for Education and the people of their countries ought to decide for themselves what their priorities and key educational activities should be. The 'workshop' concept demonstrated the confidence PRIDE has in the deep insights and vast experience that the participants brought to the workshop. In fact, the workshop privileged their voices by hearing and recording their 'inside' expertise, knowledge and values, so that a Pacific body of knowledge and wisdom could be developed on educational strategic planning.
