BY CHARLES STENNETT The National Parliament of Solomon Islands (NPSI), was represented at the Australasian Study of Parliament Group (ASPG) Annual Conference 2026, hosted by the Parliament of New South Wales under the theme, “Parliaments when democracy is under challenge.” A statement from NPSI said the conference brought together senior parliamentary officials, clerks, parliamentary researchers, academics, legal experts, integrity commissioners, librarians, educators and governance practitioners from across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region to examine contemporary challenges facing democratic institutions and the role of parliaments in preserving democratic values. NPSI was represented by Duane Baiabe, Communications and Media Manager (Acting), and Jayson Rimamata, Parliamentary Library Manager, who have actively participated in the three-day professional gathering. It said their attendance provided an opportunity to engage with parliamentary professionals from leading legislatures and academic institutions throughout the Australasian region. The statement said a significant achievement for the Solomon Islands delegation was their selection as conference presenters during Session 8 when Mr Rimamata and Mr Baiabe delivered a presentation entitled “The role of the parliamentary procedures in strengthening, preserving and/or hindering democracy”, contributing Solomon Islands’ perspectives to regional discussions on democratic governance and parliamentary effectiveness. NPSI said “Their presentation formed part of a programme featuring speakers from the Parliament of Australia, state and territory parliaments across Australia, the New Zealand Parliament, universities and other democratic governance institutions, highlighting the high calibre of participation at the conference”. It also added that the participation of the two officers reflects the National Parliament’s commitment to professional development, knowledge exchange and strengthening parliamentary services through engagement with regional parliamentary networks. The conference also provided valuable opportunities to share experiences, learn from emerging parliamentary practices and build professional relationships with counterparts from other jurisdictions.

BY RICHARD MENANOPO School Physical Education teachers in Isabel Province have become part of a new push to strengthen the connection between school sport and community sporting activities. The move follows a five-day Oceania Sports Education Program (OSEP) and Physical Education programme conducted in Buala from September 30 to October 4, involving 60 participants from 10 schools and institutions. According to the National Sports Council (NSC), the programme marked the first time school PE teachers in Isabel were specifically included in an OSEP delivery in the province. Participants and facilitators during a session of the five-day OSEP training program held in Buala. Photo – NSC. The development provides a broader platform for teachers, coaches, sports masters and provincial sports representatives to share knowledge and develop practical skills that can be applied beyond the classroom. Rather than limiting sports development to organised competitions, the programme focused on equipping participants to plan and deliver sporting activities that are safe, inclusive and enjoyable for young people and wider communities. The training was delivered through two components, beginning with a two-day Community Coach and Official course from September 30 to October 1 before moving into a three-day Sport in Community course from October 2 to 4. Participants collaborate on drafting sports event plans and agendas during a group work activity in Buala. Photo – NSC. The Sport in Community component covered areas including coaching fundamentals, athlete development, child safety, inclusive coaching, event planning, risk management and the establishment of small sports clubs. Participants also took part in practical exercises, including mock training sessions and planning for community sporting events. NSC Provincial Sports and Recreational Supervisor for Isabel and OSEP Educator Carlson Hagemana said the emphasis was on giving participants skills they could use directly in their own environments. “Our aim is to give teachers, coaches and sports personnel practical skills they can use in their own schools and communities,” Hagemana said. He added that the next important step would be for participants to put the knowledge gained from the programme into practice and create more opportunities for young people to participate in sport.

The programme also brought together expertise from NSC, the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD) and Solomon Islands National University (SINU). Among the facilitators were OSEP Master Educator Zinnia Leamana, Hagemana, NSC Sports and Recreational Development Coordinator for Isabel Diana Mafuara, SINU PE Lecturer David Houpere and MEHRD Principal Education Officers Dexter Nebolo and Wilson Domi. The programme was officially opened by Isabel Education Provider Chief Education Officer James Evo Tugumana and Principal Administration Officer William Leguvaka. The training is part of the continuing NSC, MEHRD and SINU partnership aimed at strengthening sports education and local capacity. For Isabel, the inclusion of PE teachers gives the province another avenue to connect school-based physical activity with wider community sport and create stronger opportunities for young people to remain active.

The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme is Australia’s program designed to plug the holes in its labour shortages by bringing in workers from the Solomon Islands and other Pacific Island countries to work mainly in the agricultural and meat sectors. And mainly in regional and rural areas of Australia. And those in the scheme can only work in industries that the government deems are facing a labour shortage. “These are the boundaries that stand and will continue to stand in the way of Solomon Islands’ determination to increase its numbers to 5,000 every year. A target my Prime Minister has set and pronounced on during his first State Visit to Australia in June,” Mr. Robert Sisilo, Solomon Islands High Commissioner to Australia, told the incoming Executive Officer of the Approved Employers of Australia, Ms Cath Cave, when they met last week at the High Commission. “To meet our target PALM should now include and open up the building and construction industry, education, hospitality and age-care in the urban and metropolitan areas like Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane where the demand for semi-skilled and skilled labour in these sectors is huge”, Mr. Sisilo, in no uncertain terms, told Ms Cave when they were discussing the SI-Australia Employers Expo to be held in Honiara on 20 – 22 October 2026. The 3-day long event will bring together approximately 30 approved employers under the PALM scheme, the Labour Mobility Unit and local stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and expand employment opportunities for Solomon Islanders. It would give employers an opportunity to better understand Solomon Islands and its workforce. “The Expo will give employers the opportunity to see what we have and an appreciation of what we offer as a country, not only in our existing processes, but also our diversity and the challenges we face. And more importantly how together we can address these challenges so that the PALM scheme is a shared win for all of us”, Mr. Sisilo stressed. Since joining the PALM Scheme in 2018, Solomon Islands has recorded about 15,000 placements and currently about 5,000 are in Australia. The Expo later this month will reinforce Solomon Islands and the GREAT Government’s commitment to workforce development, job creation and strengthening its labour mobility partnership with Australia.
太平洋澳大利亚劳动流动(PALM)计划是澳大利亚为填补其劳动短缺而设计的项目,旨在引入来自所罗门群岛和其他太平洋岛国的工人,主要在农业和肉类行业工作,主要在澳大利亚的区域和农村地区。该计划中的人员只能在政府认为面临劳动短缺的行业工作。 “这些是阻碍所罗门群岛每年增加到5000名工人的决心的边界。我的总理在6月首次访问澳大利亚时设定并宣布了这一目标,”所罗门群岛驻澳大利亚高级专员罗伯特·西西洛在上周与澳大利亚批准雇主的执行官凯瑟·凯夫会面时表示。 “为了实现我们的目标,PALM现在应该包括并开放建筑和施工行业、教育、酒店和城市及大都市地区(如悉尼、墨尔本、珀斯和布里斯班),这些行业对半熟练和熟练劳动力的需求巨大,”西西洛在与凯夫讨论将于2026年10月20日至22日在霍尼亚拉举行的所罗门群岛-澳大利亚雇主博览会时明确表示。 为期三天的活动将汇聚大约30家在PALM计划下的批准雇主、劳动流动单位和地方利益相关者,以加强合作伙伴关系并扩大所罗门群岛人的就业机会。这将为雇主提供更好地了解所罗门群岛及其劳动力的机会。 “博览会将为雇主提供机会,了解我们所拥有的,以及我们作为一个国家所提供的,不仅在现有流程中,还有我们的多样性和面临的挑战。更重要的是,我们如何共同解决这些挑战,以便PALM计划对我们所有人都是一个共同的胜利,”西西洛强调。 自2018年加入PALM计划以来,所罗门群岛已记录约15000个安置,目前约5000人在澳大利亚。这个月晚些时候的博览会将进一步加强所罗门群岛和伟大政府对劳动力发展、创造就业机会和加强与澳大利亚的劳动流动伙伴关系的承诺。

BY RODRICK DESURI AUKI A long-serving teacher and Buma/Baolo Administrator, Madam Margaret Wate, has called on education authorities to make frequent visits to schools across the province to strengthen and encourage school leaders to improve their schools. Madam Wate made the call during an event held at Buma Catholic Parish to mark this year’s World Teachers’ Day. She said one of the major challenges schools in the country are facing is the influence of technology, which is increasingly accessible to students. According to Madam Wate, regular visits to schools could help strengthen weakened school rules and encourage teachers to remain committed to their roles as educators. “We need a strong Board of Management and visitation from the Malaita Provincial Education Authority to visit our schools, and we need to strengthen the PTA committee in order to help and give our leaders the strength and have a strong mind to do our work as teachers,” she said. Madam Wate also spoke about the barriers and challenges teachers face as technology continues to influence students’ learning. She said it has become increasingly difficult for teachers to teach students because many students use mobile phones to research information for themselves. “It is a very difficult thing for us teachers at the moment, when the students search for themselves using the mobile phones and be like teachers for themselves,” she said. “This is what we have experienced, and sometimes it’s hard for us to teach and for the students to concentrate and learn from us,” she added. Madam Wate’s comments highlight the growing impact of technology on education and the need for schools, teachers, parents and education authorities to work together to ensure technology supports rather than undermines students’ learning.

作者:RODRICK DESURI 奥基 长期任教的教师和布马/巴奥洛行政官玛格丽特·瓦特女士呼吁教育当局频繁访问省内学校,以加强和鼓励学校领导改善学校。 瓦特女士在布马天主教教区举行的活动中发出这一呼吁,以纪念今年的世界教师日。 她表示,国家学校面临的主要挑战之一是技术的影响,学生越来越容易接触到技术。 瓦特女士认为,定期访问学校可以帮助加强削弱的学校规则,并鼓励教师保持对教育工作的承诺。 “我们需要一个强大的管理委员会和马莱塔省教育局的访问,以访问我们的学校,我们需要加强家长教师协会,以帮助并给予我们的领导者力量,让他们有强大的信心来做好教师的工作,”她说。 瓦特女士还谈到了教师面临的障碍和挑战,因为技术继续影响学生的学习。 她表示,由于许多学生使用手机自行查找信息,教师教授学生变得越来越困难。 “对于我们教师来说,这是一件非常困难的事情,因为学生使用手机自行搜索信息,像老师一样自学,”她说。 “这是我们所经历的,有时我们很难教导学生,学生也很难集中注意力向我们学习,”她补充道。 瓦特女士的评论突显了技术对教育的日益影响,以及学校、教师、家长和教育当局需要共同努力,以确保技术支持而不是削弱学生的学习。 [照片说明:玛格丽特·瓦特女士在本周一的活动中发言。]
BY BEN BILUA Gizo HUMANITARIAN organisations, government representatives and civil society partners have been challenged to put humanitarian principles into practice to ensure disaster responses protect the safety, dignity and rights of affected communities. The call was made at the conclusion of a two-day training on Safe, Gender-responsive, Accountable and Effective Humanitarian Action held in Gizo, Western Province. The training, organised by Plan International Solomon Islands, brought together representatives from the Western Provincial Government, non-government organisations, civil society organisations, facilitators and other humanitarian partners. Plan International Solomon Islands Emergency Response Manager Henson Makoani said the safety and dignity of people affected by emergencies must remain at the centre of humanitarian work. He said disaster programmes must be implemented in line with recognised humanitarian standards, including humanitarian principles, the Sphere Minimum Standards, Protection Principles and the Core Humanitarian Standard. Makoani also stressed the importance of effective communication with communities during emergencies, saying clear and timely information is critical to building trust and ensuring assistance responds to actual needs. He said affected communities should not simply be treated as recipients of humanitarian assistance. “Instead, they must be given meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions affecting their lives, while also having safe and accessible channels to provide feedback or raise complaints. “Accountability to affected populations means communities should have a voice in shaping humanitarian responses,” Makoani said. He said local experience and traditional knowledge are also important in strengthening disaster preparedness and response, particularly given the challenges communities face during emergencies in Solomon Islands. Makoani encouraged humanitarian agencies to work closely with local leaders, women’s groups, youth networks and organisations representing people with disabilities. He said stronger collaboration with these groups would help ensure humanitarian responses are inclusive and reflect the different needs of affected people. The training also reinforced the message that humanitarian action must go beyond the delivery of food, shelter and other assistance. Affected people must be heard, protected, respected and involved in decisions that directly affect their lives. Plan International Solomon Islands reaffirmed its commitment to supporting government agencies, NGOs and CSOs through technical assistance, joint learning and continued coordination to strengthen humanitarian preparedness and response. The training concluded with appreciation to the Western Provincial Government for its support, facilitators for sharing their expertise and participants for their active engagement and commitment to improving humanitarian response in Solomon Islands.

作者:本·比卢亚 吉佐 人道主义组织、政府代表和民间社会伙伴被挑战将人道主义原则付诸实践,以确保灾害响应保护受影响社区的安全、尊严和权利。 这一呼吁是在吉佐(Gizo),西部省(Western Province)举行的为期两天的安全、性别响应、问责和有效人道主义行动培训结束时提出的。 此次培训由国际计划所罗门群岛(Plan International Solomon Islands)组织,汇集了西部省政府、非政府组织、民间社会组织、培训师和其他人道主义伙伴的代表。 国际计划所罗门群岛应急响应经理亨森·马科阿尼(Henson Makoani)表示,受紧急情况影响的人们的安全和尊严必须始终是人道主义工作的核心。 他说,灾害项目必须按照公认的人道主义标准实施,包括人道主义原则、Sphere最低标准、保护原则和核心人道主义标准。 马科阿尼还强调,在紧急情况下与社区进行有效沟通的重要性,称清晰和及时的信息对于建立信任和确保援助满足实际需求至关重要。 他说,受影响的社区不应仅仅被视为人道主义援助的接受者。 “相反,他们必须获得有意义的机会参与影响他们生活的决策,同时也要有安全和便捷的渠道提供反馈或提出投诉。 “对受影响人群的问责意味着社区应在塑造人道主义响应中拥有发言权,”马科阿尼说。 他说,当地经验和传统知识在加强灾害准备和响应方面也很重要,特别是在所罗门群岛的紧急情况下,社区面临的挑战。 马科阿尼鼓励人道主义机构与地方领导、妇女团体、青年网络和代表残疾人士的组织密切合作。 他说,与这些团体的更强合作将有助于确保人道主义响应具有包容性,并反映受影响人群的不同需求。 此次培训还重申了人道主义行动必须超越食物、住所和其他援助的提供。 受影响的人必须被倾听、保护、尊重,并参与直接影响他们生活的决策。 国际计划所罗门群岛重申其支持政府机构、非政府组织和民间社会组织的承诺,通过技术援助、联合学习和持续协调来加强人道主义准备和响应。 培训结束时对西部省政府的支持、培训师分享的专业知识以及参与者积极参与和致力于改善所罗门群岛人道主义响应表示感谢。 [参与者参加小组讨论。照片:本·比卢亚]
BY DOUGLAS VAHIA Nemei Primary School has hit a major milestone after holding a big celebration over the weekend on Sunday, October 4, 2026. The school, which is located in the inland village of Koge, held an official blessing and opening ceremony for its primary campus. The school sits deep in the center of Isabel Province, inside the Kolomola Ward of the Hograno district. It is built to serve children from three main inland villages, Koge, Siligodu, and Riukasa. The opening of this school brings massive relief to local families. For a long time, the little children in these areas faced hard times because they had to walk a few kilometers through rough bush tracks and hills just to get an education. Now, they finally have their own school right in their community. Community members and families from Koge, Siligodu, and Riukasa gather to share a celebratory feast during the school opening.Photo – Douglas Vahia. According to the history shared at the event, the school started a long time ago in 2011. Back then, it was just a tiny kindergarten started by Gwendalyn Hoamana. Over the last 15 years, the school grew slowly until it became a full primary school. To look back on this long journey, the community chose a special theme for the opening day: “15 years learning, growing in God’s light, Nemei Primary, 2011-2026.” Officials from the provincial government, the church, and the education office travelled to the village for the ceremony. The main guest of Honor was the Provincial Ward Member for Kolomola Ward, Elison Vure. Other important guests included Priest Fr. Anthony Kame, the Principal Education Inspector Mr. Rueben Dotho Jr , and the Provincial Senior Assistant Officer Hubert Odikana. During the speeches, the Principal Education Inspector, Mr. Rueben Dotho Jr., spoke strongly to the crowd. He told the people from the three villages that they must look after the new buildings. He said the school can only work well if the community and the teachers work together like a team. Provincial Education Inspectorate. Reuben Dotho, speaking during the Opening. Photo – Douglas Vahia “Please, now that the school is opened, I kindly ask the communities around here to take responsibility and ownership of this school,” Mr. Dotho said to the parents and leaders. “Staff must work together with the community, and communities please do the same so our children can learn well.” The Ward Member, Mr. Elison Vure, also talked about the big struggles that rural schools face in Isabel Province. He noted that Nemei Primary is one of the most isolated highland schools in the province. Because the road is bad and the place is hard to reach, many qualified teachers do not want to come and work there. Honourable Elison Vure at the middle with two education Officers besides. Photo – Douglas Vahia. Even though the road work is hard, Mr. Vure promised that the provincial government would keep trying to help the mountain communities. “I am still working on the road access,” Vure told the gathering. “Even though it is very difficult, I will still work with the community to support this school.” Speaking during the program, school principal and headmistress, Madam Dorothy Kofu, stood up to thank her teaching staff and the village workers. She said the team did an amazing job even though they did not have enough books, materials, or money. “We faced too many challenges on the way, but now we have come together to officially bless and open the school,” Madam Kofu said. She praised the teachers for not giving up when things were tough. Priest Fr. Anthony Kame stands by the official school banner ahead of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Photo by Douglas Vahia The big day ended with a church blessing for the school led by Priest Fr. Anthony Kame and Mr. Hubert Odikana. The elders of the village explained that the name “Nemei” is very special. It was made by putting together the names of two old priests who first dreamed of building a school in the village many years ago.

作者:道格拉斯·瓦希亚 内梅小学在2026年10月4日(星期日)举行了一次盛大的庆祝活动,达成了一个重要里程碑。该校位于科戈内陆村,举行了小学校园的正式祝福和开幕仪式。 学校坐落在伊莎贝尔省的中心,位于霍格拉诺区的科洛莫拉区。它旨在为来自三个主要内陆村庄的儿童提供服务,分别是科戈、希利戈杜和瑞乌卡萨。学校的开设为当地家庭带来了巨大的 relief。 长期以来,这些地区的小朋友们面临艰难的时光,因为他们必须穿越几公里的崎岖小路和山丘才能接受教育。现在,他们终于在自己的社区里拥有了一所学校。 科戈、希利戈杜和瑞乌卡萨的社区成员和家庭聚集在一起,分享庆祝盛宴以庆祝学校的开幕。照片 - 道格拉斯·瓦希亚。 根据活动中分享的历史,该校早在2011年就开始了。当时,它只是由格温达琳·霍阿马纳创办的一所小幼儿园。在过去的15年里,学校缓慢发展,最终成为一所完整的小学。为了回顾这段漫长的旅程,社区为开幕日选择了一个特别的主题:“15年学习,在上帝的光辉中成长,内梅小学,2011-2026。” 省政府、教会和教育办公室的官员们前往村庄参加仪式。主要嘉宾是科洛莫拉区的省区议员埃利森·维尔。其他重要嘉宾包括神父安东尼·卡梅、首席教育检查员鲁本·多托·小和省高级助理官员休伯特·奥迪卡纳。 在演讲中,首席教育检查员鲁本·多托·小对人群发表了强有力的讲话。他告诉来自三个村庄的人们,他们必须照顾好新建筑。他表示,学校只有在社区和教师共同努力的情况下才能良好运作。 省教育检查员鲁本·多托在开幕式上发言。照片 - 道格拉斯·瓦希亚 “请,现在学校已经开幕,我恳请周围的社区对这所学校承担责任和拥有感,”多托先生对家长和领导们说。“教职员工必须与社区共同合作,社区也请如此,以便我们的孩子能够好好学习。” 区议员埃利森·维尔也谈到了伊莎贝尔省农村学校面临的巨大挑战。他指出,内梅小学是省内最偏远的高地学校之一。由于道路状况不佳,地理位置难以到达,许多合格的教师不愿意来这里工作。 尊敬的埃利森·维尔在中间,旁边是两位教育官员。照片 - 道格拉斯·瓦希亚。 尽管道路施工困难,维尔先生承诺省政府将继续努力帮助山区社区。 “我仍在努力改善道路通行,”维尔在集会上说。“尽管这非常困难,我仍将与社区合作,支持这所学校。” 在节目中,校长兼女校长多萝西·科夫站起来感谢她的教职员工和村庄工人。她表示,尽管他们没有足够的书籍、材料或资金,但团队做得非常出色。 “我们在路上面临了太多挑战,但现在我们已经聚在一起,正式祝福并开幕这所学校,”科夫女士说。她赞扬教师们在困难时期没有放弃。 神父安东尼·卡梅在剪彩仪式前站在学校的官方横幅旁。照片 - 道格拉斯·瓦希亚 这一天以神父安东尼·卡梅和休伯特·奥迪卡纳为学校进行祝福的教堂仪式结束。村里的长者解释说,“内梅”这个名字非常特别。它是由两位老神父的名字组合而成,他们在多年前首次梦想在村庄里建立一所学校。随着大门的开启,科戈、希利戈杜和瑞乌卡萨的孩子们可以期待一个光明的未来。 [照片:穿着黄色校服的学生自豪地与学校工作人员和省领导在教室前合影。照片 - 道格拉斯·瓦希亚。]
BY CHARLES STENNETT The Western Provincial Government (WPG), Planning Division, together with key stakeholders, is now into Week 2 of the Ward Development Committee (WDC) Training Roll-Out in the Province. A statement from WPG said that the training is focused on Component 2b of the Integrated Economic Development and Community Resilience (IEDCR), which aims to strengthen the capacity of WDCs to risk-inform their Ward Development Plans and proposed community projects. It said that with the threats of climate change risk-informed planning and decision must be adopted when planning for the wards. “Our communities face different climate and disaster risks, including flooding, coastal erosion, strong winds, landslides and other hazards and through this training, WDC members are learning how to identify the risks and hazards affecting their communities, understand how these risks can impact development activities, map and document risks within their wards, identify practical interventions to reduce risks and build resilience and integrate climate and disaster risk considerations into their development plans and projects” the statement said. The statement said eight wards have completed the training, and the roll-out will continue until all 26 wards across Western Province have been covered. It said the undertakings are more than just training, it is about empowering communities to understand their risks and take action to build safer, stronger and more resilient communities.

By RODRICK DESURI AUKI About 21 schools in East Kwaio, Malaita Province, from Olomburi to Kwaibaita, marked World Teachers’ Day today with a special celebration held at Atoifi. This was the first ever celebration organised and celebrated at the region to mark the important day. The theme of the 2026 celebration is “Protecting and Advancing status of Teachers Profession.” Delivering the keynote speech, guest of honour and senior lecturer at Pacific Adventist University, Lesta Asugeni, reminded teachers of their responsibilities and commitment to their students. Highlights from the celebration. Photo: Solo vibes.] He said teachers’ attitudes and behaviour might not always be acceptable to students in the classroom, but their actions are often motivated by care, love and a sense of responsibility for their students’ future. “Sometimes teachers may challenge you and may give you hard words, but that doesn’t mean they’re trying to spoil you or to destroy your future. They want to build you,” he said. Asugeni referred to Proverbs 22:6, which says: “Train the child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” He called on teachers, students, parents and communities to work together and cooperate for the benefit of students. “I want to call for togetherness and cooperation among students, communities, as well as our teachers. I hear schools that have problems and confrontations with communities, with students arising, but let us see understanding and dialogue rather than conflict,” he said. Asugeni also reminded teachers that education is about changing lives, not merely transferring information. World Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on October 5 to recognise and celebrate teachers around the world. The day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks for teachers’ rights and responsibilities, as well as standards for their initial preparation, further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. Similar celebration has occurred at other regions of Malaita early this week. [Photo Caption: Highlights from the celebration. Photo: Solo vibes.]
作者:罗德里克·德苏里 奥基 来自马莱塔省东夸伊奥的约21所学校,从奥隆布里到夸伊拜塔,今天在阿托菲举行特别庆祝活动,以纪念世界教师日。 这是该地区首次组织和庆祝这一重要日子。 2026年庆祝活动的主题是“保护和提升教师职业的地位”。 在致辞中,嘉宾和太平洋基督教大学的高级讲师莱斯塔·阿苏根尼提醒教师们对学生的责任和承诺。 庆祝活动的亮点。照片:Solo vibes。 他说,教师的态度和行为在课堂上可能并不总是被学生接受,但他们的行为往往是出于对学生未来的关心、爱和责任感。 “有时教师可能会挑战你,可能会给你严厉的话语,但这并不意味着他们想要毁掉你或破坏你的未来。他们想要塑造你,”他说。 阿苏根尼提到《箴言》22:6:“教养孩童,使他走当行的道,直到老他也不偏离。” 他呼吁教师、学生、家长和社区共同合作,为学生的利益而努力。 “我希望呼吁学生、社区以及我们的教师之间的团结与合作。我听说有些学校与社区、学生之间存在问题和冲突,但让我们看到理解和对话,而不是冲突,”他说。 阿苏根尼还提醒教师,教育是改变生活,而不仅仅是传递信息。 世界教师日每年在10月5日庆祝,以表彰和庆祝全球的教师。 这一天纪念1966年国际劳工组织/联合国教科文组织关于教师地位的建议的通过周年,设定了教师权利和责任的基准,以及他们的初始准备、继续教育、招聘、就业和教学与学习条件的标准。 本周早些时候,马莱塔的其他地区也举行了类似的庆祝活动。 [照片说明:庆祝活动的亮点。照片:Solo vibes。]
BY BEN BILUA Gizo TEACHERS need more than public appreciation, Speaker of the Western Provincial Assembly Ramrakha Aquila Talasasa says. Speaking during the World Teachers’ Day celebration in Gizo, Talasasa said while public recognition of teachers is important, genuine support for the profession must go beyond ceremonies and words of appreciation. He said teachers need sound preparation, opportunities for continuing professional development, appropriate learning resources, reasonable working conditions and the professional freedom to exercise informed judgement in the classroom. Talasasa said the Solomon Islands Government must renew its attention to protecting and advancing the status of teaching as a profession rather than relying on recognition as a way of motivating teachers. “This distinction matters because teaching is a profession of continuous learning,” he said. Talasasa said teachers are working in an education environment that is constantly changing, including curriculum reforms, new classroom technologies, developments in educational research and an increasingly complex information environment faced by student. He said professional development was therefore essential to help teachers respond to these changes while maintaining the fundamental goals of education, including comprehension, reasoning, communication and curiosity. “We therefore call for more attention and resources to help build teaching capacity,” Talasasa said. He also highlighted the Solomon Islands National Teachers Association’s (SINTA) recent launch of the “Go Public! Fund Education Campaign 2026”, which seeks to draw attention to the escalating problem of classroom overcrowding. Talasasa questioned how the situation could develop by 2027 if the issue was not addressed urgently. “How much more in 2027?” he asked, warning that the situation could become an even bigger challenge for the country. Talasasa said the call for systematic reform of the education sector was particularly significant because it came directly from teachers working on the ground. He said teachers themselves had raised concerns about severe shortages of classroom space and the psychological pressure created by unsustainable workloads. “These situations can weaken our education system,” Talasasa said. He cautioned that any major changes to education policy must be matched by serious investment in school quality, teacher support, infrastructure and the capacity to implement reforms. Talasasa warned that a rushed approach to expanding access to education could result in increased enrolment without a corresponding improvement in learning outcomes. “Solomon Islands must move beyond slogans and policies but rather focus on whether the education system is ready to absorb increased numbers of students without compromising the quality of teaching and learning,” he said. His comments come as teachers across the country mark World Teachers’ Day, with growing calls for greater investment in the people, facilities and resources needed to deliver quality education. For Talasasa, appreciating teachers should not be limited to celebrating them once a year. It must be reflected in the policies, resources and working conditions provided to enable them to perform one of the country’s most important professions. [Mr. Ramrakha Aquila Talasasa delivering his speech during the celebration.]
作者:本·比卢亚 吉佐 西部省议会发言人拉姆拉卡·阿奎拉·塔拉萨萨(Ramrakha Aquila Talasasa)表示,教师需要的不仅仅是公众的赞赏。 在吉佐庆祝世界教师日时,塔拉萨萨表示,虽然公众对教师的认可很重要,但对这一职业的真正支持必须超越仪式和赞赏之词。 他说,教师需要良好的准备、继续专业发展的机会、适当的学习资源、合理的工作条件以及在课堂上行使知情判断的专业自由。 塔拉萨萨表示,所罗门群岛政府必须重新关注保护和提升教师作为职业的地位,而不是依赖认可来激励教师。 “这种区分很重要,因为教学是一个持续学习的职业,”他说。 塔拉萨萨表示,教师在一个不断变化的教育环境中工作,包括课程改革、新的课堂技术、教育研究的发展以及学生面临的日益复杂的信息环境。 因此,他表示,专业发展对于帮助教师应对这些变化,同时保持教育的基本目标,包括理解、推理、沟通和好奇心,是至关重要的。 “因此,我们呼吁更多的关注和资源来帮助提升教学能力,”塔拉萨萨说。 他还强调了所罗门群岛国家教师协会(SINTA)最近发起的“公开!资助教育运动2026”,旨在引起人们对教室过度拥挤问题的关注。 塔拉萨萨质疑如果不紧急解决这一问题,2027年情况将如何发展。 “到2027年会有多少更多?”他问道,并警告说,情况可能会成为国家面临的更大挑战。 塔拉萨萨表示,呼吁对教育部门进行系统改革尤其重要,因为这是来自一线教师的直接呼声。 他说,教师们自己提出了关于教室空间严重短缺和不可持续工作负荷带来的心理压力的担忧。 “这些情况可能削弱我们的教育系统,”塔拉萨萨说。 他警告说,任何对教育政策的重大变更都必须与对学校质量、教师支持、基础设施和实施改革能力的重大投资相匹配。 塔拉萨萨警告说,快速扩大教育机会可能会导致入学人数增加,但学习成果却没有相应改善。 “所罗门群岛必须超越口号和政策,而是关注教育系统是否准备好在不影响教学和学习质量的情况下吸纳更多学生,”他说。 他的评论正值全国教师庆祝世界教师日,呼吁对提供优质教育所需的人力、设施和资源进行更多投资。 对塔拉萨萨来说,欣赏教师不应仅限于每年庆祝一次,而应体现在政策、资源和工作条件中,以使他们能够履行国家最重要的职业之一。 [拉姆拉卡·阿奎拉·塔拉萨萨在庆祝活动中发表讲话。]
Newspaper celebrates two decades of journalism, honours founder and embraces digital future BY JOHN HOUANIHAU THE Island Sun has marked its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of journalism while looking ahead to a new era driven by digital media and artificial intelligence. The anniversary was marked yesterday, October 6, under the theme “Celebrating 20 Years of Informing Solomon Islands and Beyond.” The occasion reflected on the newspaper’s journey since its first edition was published in 2006, while highlighting its transition towards becoming a fully digital news organisation. A group photo of Island Sun staff, guests and Directors during the official program to mark the newspaper’s 20th anniversary yesterday. Photo: John Houanihau Managing Director and Publisher Lloyd Loji said the anniversary was not only a time to celebrate the newspaper’s achievements but also to prepare for the changing media landscape. “The future can no longer depend only on the printed newspaper,” Mr Loji said. He said Island Sun began rolling out its digital strategy in August, with the newsroom leading the transition. The strategy will strengthen the newspaper’s website and social media platforms, improve breaking news delivery and expand digital and video content for readers in Solomon Islands, the Pacific and beyond. Staff line up for the anniversary lunch. Photo: John Houanihau Island Sun started as a weekly newspaper before expanding to five editions a week. Its operations later grew with the establishment of Sun Printing in 2011, as well as offices in Auki and Gizo. Loji said the newspaper had faced major challenges over the past two decades, including the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing printing and operational costs, technological changes, social media and the emergence of artificial intelligence. Despite these challenges, he said Island Sun had continued to adapt and build resilience. From left: Publisher Lloyd Loji, MASI President Ofani Eremae, Fr George Dagi and Director Goodlyn Loji at the anniversary celebration. Photo: John Houanihau He acknowledged the contribution of all staff, including journalists, editors, printers, drivers, sales staff, cleaners and street sellers. “The success of Island Sun does not rest on the directors or management alone,” he said. Honouring founder Former Island Sun editor and current Media Association of Solomon Islands (MASI) President Ofani Eremae paid tribute to the late founder and publisher Mathias Loji, describing him as an innovative and business-minded leader. Eremae said Island Sun’s survival for two decades was a significant achievement for the local media industry. Island Sun staff listen to speeches during the anniversary program. Photo: John Houanihau He said the newspaper had survived major changes and remained an important player in serving the public. He encouraged staff to continue supporting management as the media industry faces new challenges from technology, social media and artificial intelligence. Digital future Chief Editor Irwin Angiki, who was in Sydney on a week-long programme, sent his anniversary remarks to the celebration. He congratulated staff on reaching the 20-year milestone and acknowledged the challenges the newspaper had faced. Angiki also paid tribute to late founder Mathias Loji, saying his leadership helped Island Sun survive the COVID-19 pandemic and emerge strong enough to recover.

Photo: John Houanihau He acknowledged former newsroom leaders including Priestly Habru, Richard Toke, Gina Kekea and Ofani Eremae, for their contribution to developing and mentoring Island Sun journalists. Angiki also praised current Publisher Lloyd Loji for his leadership and vision. He highlighted several milestones achieved by Island Sun in recent years, including its participation in a major Pacific media artificial intelligence project. Island Sun is among Pacific newsrooms participating in Google’s first Pacific project introducing AI to the media, with the newsroom expected to develop its own in-house AI system at the end of the 18-month project. Angiki said Island Sun’s transition into digital publishing began in August, with the company aiming to become a fully digital news organisation soon. Island Sun staff enjoy the anniversary lunch. Photo: John Houanihau He said the digital vision was initially initiated by the late Mathias Loji in 2021 and strengthened following a 2022 visit by PACMAS/ABC International Development’s Grant Sherlock. “Publisher Lloyd this year has fulfilled his father’s vision in this achievement,” Angiki said. Regional recognition Angiki also highlighted Island Sun’s growing regional presence, including its participation as a full financial member with voting rights at the Pacific Islands News Association (PINA) Summit in Fiji this year. He said the recognition Island Sun received from regional and international media representatives demonstrated the growing reach of the newspaper’s brand. Managing Director Lloyd Loji delivers his remarks. Photo: John Houanihau He also pointed to improvements in the newsroom’s reporting and verification standards, supported by local and overseas training. Two Island Sun reporters are currently completing one-year diploma journalism studies at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and are expected to return in November. Angiki also highlighted Island Sun’s successful PACMAS content project earlier this year, saying the newsroom was the first of 16 recipients to complete the project and exceeded its target by almost double. He thanked the entire newsroom team for their commitment and contribution to the newspaper’s growth. The anniversary celebration brought together Island Sun staff, management, former newsroom members and invited guests to reflect on the newspaper’s two-decade journey. As Island Sun enters its third decade, the anniversary marked not only a celebration of its past but also a major shift towards its digital future. From its first edition in 2006 to its digital transition in 2026, Island Sun continues to evolve while maintaining its commitment to informing Solomon Islands and beyond.

By Rodrick Desuri Auki The School Principal of Su’u National Secondary School in West Kwaio, Malaita Province, has refuted claims that an outsider entered the school’s girls’ dormitory and threatened female students. Reports received by this paper said that a man entered the girls’ dormitory on Saturday night and allegedly threatened students with a pair of scissors, causing shock and disturbance among the female students. However, Principal John Oiuru described the incident as a minor one and said the matter had been resolved by the school administration. He explained that the incident involved an outsider who entered the girls’ dormitory and frightened the students. “The incident is just a minor issue and has been solved by the administration. It involves an outsider who entered the girls’ dormitory, which shocked and frightened the girls,” he said. Principal Oiuru said the school does not welcome such incidents and called on communities to take responsibility for people experiencing mental health difficulties in order to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. He said the school was operating normally and that the incident had not caused any significant disruption to school activities. “Currently, the issue is solved and the school is running smoothly,” he said.

By Rodrick Desuri Auki The School Principal of Buma/Baolo Community High School has encouraged spouses and family members to support teachers in their professional duties. Principal Ben Morosini made the call during the school’s World Teachers’ Day celebration at the Buma Parish station this afternoon. He said teachers could perform at their best when they received understanding and support from their spouses and families. “We all have partners, and teachers can have a better day at work when their spouses support them,” Morosini said. He used the example of children going to school without eating breakfast, saying this could affect their ability to learn and enjoy the school day. “It is the same with teachers. When spouses do not understand or support their partners, you can see the effect in their appearance and performance,” he said. Morosini urged family members and spouses to understand the demands placed on teachers and to provide support when they faced heavy workloads and other commitments. “At times, teachers are overloaded with schoolwork and other commitments. But when there is no support from their spouses, you will see that they may not perform to the best of their ability,” he said. “This is very important, and I want to remind my good teachers: when your spouse supports you, you will be able to give your full effort to your students,” Morosini added. Buma/Baolo teachers also expressed their gratitude to the school leaders and administration during the celebration. This was the second year that Buma/Baolo Community High School has celebrated World Teachers’ Day. [Photo Caption: Buma/Baolo School Principal, Ben Morosini.]
作者:Rodrick Desuri 奥基 布马/巴奥洛社区高中校长鼓励配偶和家庭成员支持教师的专业职责。 校长Ben Morosini在今天下午布马教区举行的世界教师日庆祝活动中发出了这一呼吁。 他说,当教师得到配偶和家庭的理解和支持时,他们能够发挥最佳表现。 “我们都有伴侣,当教师得到配偶的支持时,他们在工作中会有更好的表现,”Morosini说。 他以孩子们上学前不吃早餐为例,表示这可能会影响他们的学习能力和享受学校生活的能力。 “教师也是如此。当配偶不理解或支持他们的伴侣时,你可以看到他们的外表和表现受到影响,”他说。 Morosini呼吁家庭成员和配偶理解教师面临的要求,并在他们面对繁重的工作和其他承诺时提供支持。 “有时,教师的工作和其他承诺会让他们感到不堪重负。但当没有来自配偶的支持时,你会看到他们可能无法发挥出最佳能力,”他说。 “这非常重要,我想提醒我的优秀教师:当你的配偶支持你时,你将能够全力以赴地投入到学生身上,”Morosini补充道。 布马/巴奥洛的教师们在庆祝活动中也对学校领导和管理表示感谢。 这是布马/巴奥洛社区高中第二年庆祝世界教师日。 [照片说明:布马/巴奥洛学校校长Ben Morosini。]

Teacher at Sasamuga Primary School, Charles Tani Kiko, said the annual gathering provides an important opportunity for teachers to come together and recognise their contribution to education and society. He said the BAVISA teachers organise the celebration every year, with the event moving from one host village to another. Kiko acknowledged the principals and school chairpersons of the six participating schools for their support in organising the event. He also thanked the education provider for its donation and Member of Parliament Mr Tozen Loekana for his continued support towards teachers.

Kiko said the annual celebration was more than just an occasion for entertainment, as it reminded teachers of the dignity and value of every child. “This occasion reminds us teachers to uphold the dignity and value of each child as a special gift,” he said. He said teachers should also take pride in knowing that they play a fundamental role in producing professionals who serve communities and the country. “Behind every lawyer, doctor, nurse, engineer and other professional, there is a teacher behind them all,” Kiko said. He encouraged teachers not to become discouraged when things do not turn out as expected, saying their contribution to society remains significant.

Kiko said teaching should not be viewed simply as a profession but as a lifelong commitment because teachers work directly with people and have a responsibility to nurture the next generation. “Teaching is not just a job. It is a lifetime commitment because we are dealing with human beings, which is the highest dignity of God’s creation,” he said. He also paid tribute to teachers who served before the current generation, including those who have retired. “I salute teachers who have gone before us, those who retired. What you have planted continues to grow with us teachers now, who continue what our teachers have done for us,” Kiko said. The South Choiseul World Teachers’ Day celebration therefore provided an opportunity for teachers to honour their profession, strengthen relationships among schools and reaffirm their commitment to educating and nurturing future generations.
