Four teachers and four students from Perch Christian School travelled to South Korea to participate in an international school exchange program aimed at promoting cultural understanding, educational development, and global leadership.
Speaking to SUNDAY ISLES about the initiative, Perch Christian School Director and Panatina Ward, Honiara City Council (HCC) Councillor, Lydia Yeo said the exchange program has its roots in discussions held in 2019 during a visit to the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea by then-opposition leader, now Prime Minister Mathew Wale, and Former MP North-west Guadalcanal Constituency Hon. Bodo Dettke.
Mathew Wale, a former opposition leader in the Solomon Islands, and Hon. Bodo Dettke, a former MP for the Northwest Guadalcanal Constituency.
During that visit, a request was made for greater support in youth cultural education. This led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the National Assembly delegation, the Seoul National University Rainwater Research Centre, and the World Youth Exchange Federation.
“The program focuses not only on educational exchanges but also on humanitarian efforts, including the installation of rainwater facilities in underprivileged communities where access to safe drinking water is limited, it also provides global educational internship opportunities for students and teachers,” Yeo explained.
While in South Korea, the Solomon Islands delegation will take part in a range of cultural and educational activities, including the Youth Culture Expo organised by the World Youth Exchange Federation.
Yeo said the exchange is expected to provide participants with valuable opportunities to experience different cultures, gain exposure to advanced educational environments, and build meaningful relationships with students and educators from around the world.
“This program allows participants to share educational visions, experience a more advanced cultural environment, and achieve both spiritual and personal growth,” she said.
The exchange program brings together the Korean Council of Schools, Christian schools from various countries, and participants from 14 nations across Oceania, making it one of the region’s largest international educational exchange initiatives.
Yeo said she hopes the Perch Christian School team will return home with new knowledge, broader perspectives, and stronger leadership qualities.
“We hope they will experience advanced educational models and diverse cultures firsthand. Beyond expanding their academic and cultural understanding, we want them to develop strong ethics and sound values so they can grow into global leaders who will contribute to the future development of the Solomon Islands and the international community,” she said.
Although the international exchange program has been operating since the MOU was signed in 2019, Solomon Islands participants have only joined in recent years. According to Yeo, since taking on the role of City Consular in 2024, she has actively encouraged the participation of Solomon Islands teachers and students.
“This year marks the third time that students and teachers from the Solomon Islands have participated in the program. It represents another important step in strengthening cultural and educational cooperation between our countries,” said Yeo.

来自 Perch 基督教学校的四名教师和四名学生前往韩国,参加旨在促进文化理解、教育发展和全球领导力的国际学校交流项目。
Perch 基督教学校校长、霍尼亚拉市议会(HCC)潘纳蒂纳区议员 Lydia Yeo 在接受《星期日岛屿》采访时表示,该交流项目源于2019年时任反对派领袖、现任总理 Mathew Wale 和前北西瓜尔达卡纳尔选区议员 Hon. Bodo Dettke 访问韩国国会期间的讨论。
Mathew Wale 是所罗门群岛的前反对派领袖,Hon. Bodo Dettke 是前北西瓜尔达卡纳尔选区的议员。
在那次访问中,提出了对青年文化教育的更大支持请求。这导致了韩国国会代表团、首尔国立大学雨水研究中心和世界青年交流联合会之间签署了一份谅解备忘录(MOU)。
Yeo 解释道:“该项目不仅关注教育交流,还包括人道主义努力,包括在缺乏安全饮用水的贫困社区安装雨水设施,同时为学生和教师提供全球教育实习机会。”
在韩国期间,所罗门群岛代表团将参加一系列文化和教育活动,包括由世界青年交流联合会组织的青年文化博览会。
Yeo 表示,交流预计将为参与者提供宝贵的机会,体验不同的文化,接触先进的教育环境,并与来自世界各地的学生和教育工作者建立有意义的关系。
“该项目使参与者能够分享教育愿景,体验更先进的文化环境,实现精神和个人的成长,”她说。
该交流项目汇集了韩国学校委员会、来自多个国家的基督教学校以及来自大洋洲14个国家的参与者,使其成为该地区最大的国际教育交流项目之一。
Yeo 表示,她希望 Perch 基督教学校团队能带着新知识、更广阔的视野和更强的领导能力回国。
“我们希望他们能亲身体验先进的教育模式和多样的文化。除了扩展他们的学术和文化理解外,我们希望他们能够培养强烈的道德观和良好的价值观,以便成长为能够为所罗门群岛和国际社会未来发展做出贡献的全球领导者,”她说。
尽管自2019年签署谅解备忘录以来,国际交流项目一直在运行,但所罗门群岛的参与者仅在近年来加入。根据 Yeo 的说,自2024年担任市议员以来,她积极鼓励所罗门群岛的教师和学生参与。
“今年是所罗门群岛的学生和教师第三次参与该项目。这标志着加强我们国家之间文化和教育合作的重要一步,”Yeo 说。
The Government for Reform, Empowerment, Accountability and Transformation (GREAT) Coalition, through the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Policy Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (PIMEU), has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering the GREAT Coalition’s education agenda following a high-level engagement with the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD).
The meeting brought together the PIMEU Social Sector Team and MEHRD’s Senior Executive Management to review implementation progress, strengthen policy coordination, and advance key Government education priorities.
Discussions focused on the rollout of the GREAT Coalition’s flagship education commitments: Education for All, Education Reform, Free Education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Teachers’ Welfare, and School Infrastructure Development.
The engagement highlighted that substantial progress is already underway. The majority of the Government’s priority commitments are now reflected in MEHRD’s Annual Work Plan, demonstrating strong alignment between the GREAT Coalition’s policy vision and the Ministry’s implementation framework.
Participants welcomed the progress to date and acknowledged MEHRD’s efforts to improve access, quality and equity in education.
The meeting also identified opportunities to further strengthen implementation mechanisms and accelerate delivery of the Coalition’s flagship policies.
The timing of the engagement is significant as MEHRD undertakes a review of the current National Education Action Plan (NEAP) and begins preparations for the next phase of the nation’s education strategy.
This presents an opportunity to ensure Government priorities are fully embedded in the sector’s long-term planning framework, enabling reforms to be sustained and scaled in the coming years.
The Government remains committed to ensuring every Solomon Islands child has access to quality, inclusive and affordable education. Implementation of the Free Education Policy and the wider Education Reform Agenda is a cornerstone of the GREAT Coalition’s vision to make education the most strategic investment in the nation’s future human capital.
While further work will continue on policy, institutional and financing arrangements, both parties noted that important foundations have already been established.
The strong partnership between MEHRD and OPMC-PIMEU reflects the Government’s coordinated approach to delivering meaningful and measurable results for citizens.
The meeting concluded with both institutions reaffirming their commitment to intensify collaboration and accelerate implementation of the GREAT Coalition’s education priorities.
Together, they remain focused on delivering tangible improvements for students, empowering teachers, strengthening schools and centres, and creating better opportunities for communities across the Solomon Islands.
改革、赋权、问责与转型政府联盟(GREAT Coalition)通过总理办公室及内阁政策实施、监测与评估单位(PIMEU)重申了其致力于推进GREAT Coalition教育议程的承诺,此次承诺是在与教育与人力资源发展部(MEHRD)进行高层次接触后作出的。
会议汇聚了PIMEU社会部门团队与MEHRD高级管理层,旨在审查实施进展,加强政策协调,推进政府教育的重点优先事项。
讨论集中在GREAT Coalition的旗舰教育承诺的推广上:全民教育、教育改革、免费教育、科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)、教师福利以及学校基础设施发展。
此次接触强调了实质性进展已经在进行中。政府大多数优先承诺现已反映在MEHRD的年度工作计划中,显示出GREAT Coalition的政策愿景与该部实施框架之间的强大一致性。
与会者对迄今为止的进展表示欢迎,并认可MEHRD在改善教育的可及性、质量和公平性方面所做的努力。
会议还确定了进一步加强实施机制和加速推进联盟旗舰政策的机会。
此次接触的时机意义重大,因为MEHRD正在审查当前的国家教育行动计划(NEAP),并开始为国家教育战略的下一个阶段做准备。
这为确保政府优先事项完全融入该部门的长期规划框架提供了机会,使改革在未来几年得以持续和扩大。
政府始终致力于确保每个所罗门群岛的孩子都能获得优质、包容和负担得起的教育。免费教育政策和更广泛的教育改革议程的实施是GREAT Coalition愿景的基石,旨在将教育作为国家未来人力资本的最战略性投资。
虽然在政策、机构和融资安排方面的进一步工作仍将继续,但双方均表示,重要的基础已经建立。
MEHRD与OPMC-PIMEU之间的强大合作伙伴关系反映了政府在为公民提供有意义和可衡量结果方面的协调方法。
会议在两个机构重申其加强合作和加速实施GREAT Coalition教育优先事项的承诺中结束。
双方共同关注为学生提供切实改善,赋能教师,加强学校和中心,并为所罗门群岛各社区创造更好的机会。

GUGUHA Community High School in Isabel Province has been selected as one of 10 schools nationwide to benefit from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded Solomon Islands Senior Secondary Education Improvement Project.
Senior Education Officer and School Inspector for the Isabel Education Authority, Reuben Dotho, confirmed that the school has been included in the project and implementation is expected to begin soon.
He said Guguha CHS is fortunate to be among the selected schools that will benefit from the initiative, which aims to improve the quality of education in senior secondary schools across the country.
“We are pleased that Guguha Community High School has been selected as one of the recipient schools under this important project,” Dotho said.
He acknowledged the Asian Development Bank and the Solomon Islands Government for choosing Guguha CHS as one of the beneficiaries.
According to project information, the proposed Senior Secondary Education Improvement Project will focus on improving learning outcomes for senior secondary students through the expansion of climate-resilient school facilities, provision of quality teaching equipment, and strengthening school leadership in climate resilience and modern teaching practices.
The project is also expected to improve student access to education, increase retention rates, and boost the number of days students spend in school through the construction and upgrading of small-scale infrastructure at 10 senior secondary schools across the country.
Each of the nine provinces will have one participating school, with an additional school located outside Honiara also included in the program.
A key component of the project is to address barriers faced by female students. The initiative will pilot innovative solutions that support gender equality aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal 5 agenda on women’s empowerment and gender transformation.
The project will also create opportunities for experienced female educators to advance into leadership positions within the education sector.
Education officials in Isabel Province have welcomed the project, saying it will strengthen teaching and learning environments while creating better opportunities for students and teachers at Guguha Community High School.

THREE secondary schools in Isabel Province are expected to adopt the School Meal Programme as part of ongoing efforts to improve health and educational outcomes of students.
Senior Education Officer and School Inspector for the Isabel Education Authority, Reuben Dotho, confirmed that Sir Dudley Tuti College, Dr Hendry Welcman College and Allardyce Provincial Secondary School have been selected to participate in the programme.
He said the necessary arrangements have already been completed, although the official rollout date for the programme in the three schools is yet to be announced.
According to Dotho, the School Meal Programme will play a significant role to enhance the health, education and overall well-being of children in Solomon Islands.
“In many rural and remote communities, access to nutritious food can be challenging due to poverty, geographical isolation, and the impacts of climate change and natural disasters.
“A well-managed school meal programme helps address these challenges while supporting children’s learning and development,” he said.
The School Meal Programme is currently being piloted in Isabel and Western Provinces through funding provided by the Government and people of Japan.
The initiative is supported by a US$3.4 million grant, equivalent to approximately SBD28.7 million, and is being implemented through a partnership between UNICEF Pacific and the Solomon Islands Government.
The project was officially launched in February 2025 under the theme, “Eating Local, Eating Healthy.”
The programme aims to improve the nutritional status, health and educational outcomes of school children by providing healthy, locally produced meals while at the same time strengthening local food systems and agriculture.
The pilot programme will provide valuable lessons for the development of a future national school meal programme that could eventually benefit more than 30,000 children throughout Solomon Islands.
Education authorities believe the initiative will contribute to better school attendance, improved concentration in classrooms and enhanced learning outcomes for students, particularly those living in rural and remote communities.

Transparency Solomon Islands (TSI) notes with concern the recent salary hikes given to Members of Parliament.
It therefore calls for greater fairness, transparency and accountability in the determination of salaries and entitlements for Members of Parliament.
TSI sees these entitlement increases as an unjust burden on taxpayers, particularly at a time when Solomon Islanders in employment or otherwise continue to struggle with the rising cost of living and the increasing financial pressures facing families across the country.
Of grave concern is the question of the interpretation and implementation of the GREAT led Executive Government Policy of “Investing in people”.
The reality of the cost-of-living crisis is being felt in households throughout Solomon Islands. The prices of food, transportation, housing, school fees, utilities and other essential goods and services continue to place significant pressure on families whose incomes are already stretched to their limits.
Some ship operators charge children and students the same fare as they charge adults and at a time when students are returning to their schools this adds to their plight.
For many hard-working Solomon Islanders, the daily challenge is simply trying to make ends meet, providing food, water, shelter, clothing, and an education for their children, extended and immediate families, getting their children to school etc.- making ends meet.
Families are working hard to pay school fees, meet transport costs and provide basic necessities for their children. For many, there is little or no room left to save, invest or improve their standard of living.
These salary hikes could have gone into the GREAT government’s “free education” policy. It is now becoming more and more often that the Prime Minister is saying one thing, the GREAT Policy another or nothing at all and those working the Machinery of Government are doing the opposite or doing nothing.
Against this backdrop, TSI notes with great concern and objects the recent increase in salaries and entitlements of the Members of Parliament. It urges the Parliamentary Entitlement Commission (PEC) to revoke this award for the common good.
PEC having the legal right to make such awards does not make this decision a right one for the development of Solomon Islands. The decision must be viewed within the broader economic and social realities facing the people of Solomon Islands.
Effective from 1 st April 2026, the annual salary of an ordinary Member of Parliament will increase to approximately SBD288,615, while the annual salary of the Prime Minister increased to approximately SBD454,659. This reported increase is the second increase in parliamentary salaries in two years and has understandably generated public discussion, particularly given the continuing cost-of-living pressures experienced by ordinary citizens.
TSI recognises that the Members of Parliament (Entitlements) Commission (PEC) is established under the Constitution and has the legal mandate to determine and review the salaries and entitlements of parliamentarians. However, the existence of a legal mandate does not remove the need for transparency, accountability and public scrutiny.
The Constitution requires the Commission, when exercising its powers, to have regard to the state of the national economy and the financial position of the Government, movements in the level of pay and other entitlements received by other people in employment and changes in the retail price index and other relevant indicators of the cost of maintaining a reasonable standard of living for parliamentarians.
The Constitution also provides that, in determining parliamentary entitlements, consideration must be given to the rate of increase in salaries and entitlements of public officers. TSI calls for transparency.
The public who are the taxpayers deserves to know how these considerations were applied in arriving at the latest increase. Did the PEC take into account their fight and struggles for social services when deciding on this increase. Did PEC consult or call for submission from civil society like the previous chairmanship did or is this going to be the new mode of operation – complete lack of transparency and accountability.
The key question is not simply whether the PEC has the authority to review parliamentary salaries, but whether the decision reflects the economic reality of Solomon Islands, access to services by the people whose entrusted power it exercises, and whether the process has been transparent and accountable. It is the people that will ultimately fund the increase through their tax.
Whether one is employed, self-employed or otherwise all are subject to the same economic environment. We all live in the Solomon Islands where the cost of goods is the same. There is therefore no justifiable reason for increasing the salaries of Members of Parliament at this point in time.
Transparency Solomon Islands urges PEC to always take into consideration the context and status of the country’s economic, affordability in its decisions. They must consider the standard of living of the people who elected them to serve their needs.
Prime Minister Hon Matthew Wale, expressed in his victory speech to the nation that elected leaders are servants of the people, not their lords, they must continue to remind their leaders of their roles and responsibilities. This speech carries a significant importance in relation to the increased salary. It is important that this principle of servant leadership is reflected not only in words but also in decisions and actions.
A salary increase for political leaders, at a time when families are struggling to afford basic necessities, is nothing more than leaders putting their own interests ahead of the people they represent.
The GREAT Government has presented itself as a government committed to serving the people of Solomon Islands and strengthening institutions. TSI therefore calls on the Government to ensure that the principle of being a government of the people and not the people’s lords, is reflected in its approach to public remuneration, economic policy and social justice.
TSI demands for greater transparency in decision on the entitlements of MPs’ be it salaries or otherwise. The people deserve to know why the increase.
The explanation given by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Entitlement Commission is insufficient and not good enough. The people of Solomon Islands are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for fairness, proportionality, transparency and accountability.
TSI therefore calls on the GREAT Government to uphold its commitment to servant leadership and to ensure that fairness, transparency and accountability guide decisions affecting the lives and livelihoods of all Solomon Islanders.
The people are the masters of democracy. Leaders are entrusted to serve them.
For the good of the people of Solomon Islands, TSI calls for the revocation of the salary increase award. MPs are already remunerated adequately, their gas, water, electricity, rent, transport, servants, gardeners, security, medical bills overseas, clothing, sitting allowances, are already paid for by public funds or tax payers.
The rest, especially tax payers, do not have such lucrative remunerations. It is grossly irresponsible of PEC to increase their salary when they are the most privileged group in Solomon Islands.

TSI statement
The post TSI calls for fairness and transparency as MPs receive another pay increase amid rising cost of living first appeared on Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation (SIBC) .
所罗门透明组织(Transparency Solomon Islands,TSI)对最近给予国会议员的薪资上涨表示关注。
因此,TSI呼吁在确定国会议员的薪资和福利时,需更加公平、透明和负责任。
TSI认为这些福利的增加对纳税人来说是不公正的负担,尤其是在所罗门群岛的就业者或其他人仍在与不断上升的生活成本和家庭面临的财务压力作斗争之际。
令人严重关切的是对“投资于人民”这一由GREAT领导的执行政府政策的解读和实施问题。
生活成本危机的现实在整个所罗门群岛的家庭中都能感受到。食品、交通、住房、学费、公用事业及其他基本商品和服务的价格持续给家庭带来重大压力,而这些家庭的收入已经被压缩到极限。
一些船运公司对儿童和学生收取与成年人相同的票价,而此时正值学生返校,这加重了他们的困境。
对于许多勤劳的所罗门人来说,日常挑战就是努力维持生计,为孩子、大家庭和直系亲属提供食物、水、住所、衣物和教育,送孩子上学等——维持生计。
家庭们在努力支付学费、满足交通费用和为孩子提供基本生活必需品。对于许多人来说,几乎没有剩余的空间来储蓄、投资或改善生活水平。
这些薪资上涨本可以用于GREAT政府的“免费教育”政策。现在,首相常常说一套,GREAT政策又是另一套,或者根本没有,而那些在政府机器中工作的人则在做相反的事情或什么都不做。
在这种背景下,TSI对国会议员最近的薪资和福利增加表示极大关切并提出反对。它敦促国会福利委员会(Parliamentary Entitlement Commission,PEC)撤销这一决定,以维护公众利益。
PEC拥有作出此类奖励的法律权利并不意味着这一决定对所罗门群岛的发展是正确的。该决定必须在所罗门群岛人民面临的更广泛经济和社会现实中进行审视。
自2026年4月1日起,普通议员的年薪将增加至约288,615所罗门元,而总理的年薪将增加至约454,659所罗门元。这一加薪被报道为两年来议会薪资的第二次增加,显然引发了公众讨论,特别是在普通公民面临持续的生活成本压力的情况下。
TSI认识到,议员权益委员会(PEC)是在宪法下成立的,拥有确定和审查议员薪资和权益的法律授权。然而,法律授权的存在并不能消除对透明度、问责制和公众监督的需求。
宪法要求委员会在行使其权力时,考虑国家经济状况和政府的财务状况、其他就业人员的薪资和其他权益的变化,以及零售价格指数和维持议员合理生活标准的其他相关指标的变化。
宪法还规定,在确定议员权益时,必须考虑公共官员薪资和权益的增长率。TSI呼吁透明。
作为纳税人的公众有权知道这些考虑在最新加薪决定中是如何应用的。PEC在决定这一加薪时是否考虑了他们为社会服务而进行的斗争和努力?PEC是否像前任主席那样咨询或征求民间社会的意见,还是这将成为新的运作模式——完全缺乏透明度和问责制?
关键问题不仅在于PEC(议会津贴委员会)是否有权审查议员薪资,更在于这一决定是否反映了所罗门群岛的经济现实,是否考虑了人民在其行使的权力下获得服务的情况,以及这一过程是否透明和负责任。最终,增加的薪资将由人民通过税收来承担。
无论是受雇、个体经营还是其他,所有人都面临相同的经济环境。我们都生活在所罗门群岛,商品的成本是相同的。因此,在此时此刻,没有合理的理由来增加议员的薪水。
所罗门透明组织呼吁PEC在决策时始终考虑国家经济的背景和状况,以及可负担性。他们必须考虑选民的生活水平,以满足他们的需求。
总理马修·韦尔(Hon Matthew Wale)在向全国发表的胜利演讲中表示,选举产生的领导者是人民的仆人,而不是他们的主宰,他们必须继续提醒领导者他们的角色和责任。这一演讲在薪资增加问题上具有重要意义。重要的是,这一仆人领导的原则不仅要体现在言辞上,还要体现在决策和行动中。
在家庭努力负担基本生活必需品的时刻,政治领导者的薪资增加无疑是领导者将自身利益置于所代表人民之上的表现。
伟大政府(GREAT Government)自我定位为一个致力于服务所罗门群岛人民和加强机构的政府。因此,TSI呼吁政府确保作为人民政府而非人民主宰的原则,体现在其公共薪酬、经济政策和社会公正的做法中。
TSI要求在议员的津贴决策上,包括薪资或其他方面,提供更大的透明度。人民有权知道加薪的原因。
议会津贴委员会主席所给出的解释不足以令人满意。所罗门群岛人民并不要求特殊待遇,他们要求的是公平、比例、透明和问责。
因此,TSI呼吁伟大政府(GREAT Government)恪守其对服务型领导的承诺,确保公平、透明和问责制在影响所有所罗门群岛人民生活和生计的决策中发挥指导作用。
人民是民主的主人。领导者被赋予服务于他们的责任。
为了所罗门群岛人民的利益,TSI呼吁撤销加薪决定。议员们的薪酬已经足够,他们的燃气、水、电、租金、交通、仆人、园丁、安全、海外医疗费用、衣物、出席津贴等均由公共资金或纳税人支付。
其他人,尤其是纳税人,并没有如此丰厚的薪酬。PEC在他们是所罗门群岛最特权群体的情况下增加薪水是极其不负责任的。

The navy crew of Australia’s HMAS Yarra visited the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Hell’s Point Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) facility last month.
A statement from the Australian High Commission (AHC) said the Royal Australian Navy sailors and officers spent the day learning how the RSIPF EOD unit identifies and disposes of unexploded ordnance (UXO) before concluding the visit with friendly games of soccer and touch football.

AHC said Solomon Islands has one of the highest concentrations of Explosive remnants of war (ERW) in the Pacific leaving RSIPF EOD personnel disposing hundreds of UXO items every year.
The visit catered to the crew observing RSIPF’s procedures of identifying, assessing and disposing UXO.
“The demonstration included the use of portable X-ray equipment to assess munitions in the field, as well as a remote EOD cutting tool used to safely cut munitions before disposal,” the statement said.
Lieutenant Alastair Wyatt, HMAS Yarra Clearance Diving Officer said the visit highlighted RSIPF EOD unit’s depth of expertise and pointed out that Solomon Islands is home to one of the busiest EOD communities in the world.
“The opportunity to observe them operating in their own environment and learn from their experience was invaluable for me and my team,” he said.
Meanwhile, Inspector Clifford Tunuki, RSIPF Director of EOD welcomed the HMAS Yarra delegation and said he looked forward to strengthening cooperation with Australian EOD personnel.
Inspector Tunuki was presented with a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion from HMAS Yarra Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Andrew Penfold.

Lieutenant Commander Penfold said the opportunity to learn from EOD specialists who deal with unexploded ordnance on a daily basis provided valuable professional development for his crew.
“The knowledge and experience shared by the RSIPF team reinforces the importance of strong regional partnerships and helps ensure our people remain ready to support future operations together,” he said.

AHC表示,所罗门群岛是太平洋地区未爆炸战争遗留物(ERW)浓度最高的国家之一,RSIPF EOD人员每年处理数百件UXO。
此次访问让船员观察RSIPF识别、评估和处理UXO的程序。
“演示包括使用便携式X光设备在现场评估弹药,以及使用远程EOD切割工具安全切割弹药以便处理,”声明中提到。
HMAS Yarra号的清除潜水官阿拉斯泰尔·怀亚特(Alastair Wyatt)表示,此次访问突显了RSIPF EOD单位的专业深度,并指出所罗门群岛是世界上最繁忙的EOD社区之一。
“观察他们在自己环境中操作并从他们的经验中学习对我和我的团队来说是无价的,”他说。
与此同时,RSIPF EOD主任克利福德·图努基(Clifford Tunuki)欢迎HMAS Yarra代表团,并表示期待与澳大利亚EOD人员加强合作。
图努基警官收到了HMAS Yarra指挥官安德鲁·彭福德(Andrew Penfold)赠送的纪念牌,以纪念此次访问。

Five Australian university students are working alongside the Solomon Islands National Institute of Sport (SINIS) to support local athletes through a practical sports science placement under the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan.
The Australian High Commission (AHC) announced the initiative in a recent social media post, saying the students are gaining valuable hands-on experience while contributing to the development of high-performance sport in Solomon Islands.
The students—Jean Stump, Josh Coulton, Rory McFarlane, Jacqueline Hamilton and Simone Dyer—are Exercise and Sports Science students from Macquarie University in Australia.
They are undertaking their placement at SINIS, where they are working alongside institute staff to help Solomon Islands athletes perform at their highest potential while also building their own practical experience in sports science.
The placement forms part of the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan, which supports Australian university students to study and undertake internships across countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
“The students are working alongside SINIS staff to support Solomon Islands athletes in reaching their highest potential,” the Australian High Commission said.
The High Commission said the students have appreciated the warm hospitality they have received since arriving in Solomon Islands.
“They have been grateful for the warm welcome they’ve received and have loved the opportunity to learn from and work with such talented and dedicated athletes,” the statement said.
The initiative highlights the growing partnership between Australia and Solomon Islands in sport, education and people-to-people exchanges, while providing valuable knowledge-sharing opportunities for both the visiting students and local sporting personnel.
The New Colombo Plan is an Australian Government initiative that provides opportunities for Australian university students to study, undertake internships and gain practical experience across the Indo-Pacific region.
Through partnerships with host organisations such as the Solomon Islands National Institute of Sport, the programme aims to strengthen regional ties while promoting skills exchange and professional development that benefit both participating students and local communities.

Rennell and Bellona Province celebrated its 33rd anniversary and Second Appointed Day yesterday at the Town Ground Rugby Stadium in Honiara, under the theme “Embracing Reform, Unity and Progress for Rennell Bellona”.
The low-key celebration, moved to Honiara after the province’s major planned event at Tigoa was cancelled following the sinking of MV Anjeanette.
The ceremony opened with the arrival of the public and officials, receiving and garlanding of invited guests, and the escort of the Guest of Honor by the Papa traditional group.

The RSIPF and Police Band Platoon led the parade before the raising of provincial and national flags and singing of anthems.
Premier Erick Saueha welcomed the gathering on behalf of the Provincial Government and the people of Rennell and Bellona, paying tribute to the province’s founding leaders and describing the day as both a celebration and a moment of reflection on the challenges still facing the province.

He listed a string of achievements under his “Reform and Transformation Government,” including the province’s successful PCDF assessment for FY2024/25, ward grants deposited into WDC accounts, and funding secured through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, UNDP, IEDCR and UNCDF-LoCAL for education, health, fisheries and food security projects.
He also announced that Rennell Bellona Province will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hainan Province in China this year, covering scholarships, agriculture, fisheries and tourism cooperation and a gift was presented to the Chinese Embassy representative during the ceremony to mark the occasion.

He said the challenges facing the province, both good and bad, rested in the hands of its own people rather than any single leader, and urged the Premier, the provincial executive and the community to work together under the GREAT Coalition government’s development agenda.
Guest of Honor and Minister for Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS), Alfred Lazarus Rina congratulated the province on the milestone and announced that Rennell and Bellona will receive SBD 3.6 million this year from the Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF), on top of more than SBD 12.9 million transferred to the province since the fund began.

Rennell and Bellona Province will receive SBD 3.6 million this year from the Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF).
Minister for Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening, (MPGIS), Alfred Lazarus Rina announced this at the province’s 33rd Anniversary and Second Appointed Day celebration yesterday.
Speaking at the Town Ground Rugby Stadium as Guest of Honour, Minister Rina said the increase was largely due to changes in the PCDF allocation formula and a review of the fund’s modality.
He said more than SBD 12.9 million has been transferred to Rennell and Bellona Province since the fund began, financing approximately 27 completed development projects across the province, funded through the SIG-PCDF, IEDCR-PCDF and UNCDF-LoCAL PCDF programs.
“These projects are not just statistics on paper,” Minister Rina said, describing them as improvements to essential services, community infrastructure and the province’s social and economic development.
The announcement came directly after Premier Erick Saueha used his own address to lay out a long list of unresolved infrastructure problems facing the province.

Saueha said Tigoa and Anua airports are in deteriorating state and need urgent rehabilitation to accommodate the Dash 8 aircraft, given the backlog of cancelled flights and high airfare and freight costs, and called for a feasibility study on a proposed East Rennell airport.
On wharves, he thanked the national government and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for funding the Ahanga wharf on Bellona, but said the Lavagu Wharf project remains unfunded despite SIIP and DFAT having already surveyed possible sites.
He also said that roads to Lake Tegano and Lavagu Port need further maintenance while Rennell and Bellona’s shipping service — already strained before the sinking of MV Anjeanette forced the province to scale back its own anniversary celebration.

Saueha also raised the absence of a police post on Bellona and East Rennell, deteriorating schools and health facilities, the lack of sports infrastructure, and urban drift driven by residents leaving the province in search of education, healthcare and jobs.
Minister Rina acknowledged the challenges and said that connectivity remains one of the biggest obstacles to development in one of Solomon Islands’ most remote provinces, and that the loss of cargo aboard MV Anjeanette had further highlighted the vulnerability of our island communities and the urgent need for reliable shipping services.
He said the ministry will continue to work with relevant ministries, development partners and the Provincial Government to address the issues within available resources.
On the Premier’s call for greater decentralisation and revenue-sharing, Minister Rina said continued access to PCDF funding depends on the province maintaining compliance with the financial regulations approved by the Rennell and Bellona Provincial Assembly in 2018, describing accountability requirements as a reflection of good governance rather than an imposed obstacle.
“Good governance is not an obstacle to development; it is the pathway to development,” he said.
Minister Rina also announced that through the Provincial Governance Strengthening Program and other donor-funded initiatives, Rennell and Bellona Province is now fully staffed with the technical expertise needed to drive its development agenda, including planning, project implementation, monitoring, financial management and engineering services.

伦内尔和贝洛纳省今年将从省级能力发展基金(PCDF)获得360万所罗门元。
省政府和机构强化部长阿尔弗雷德·拉扎鲁斯·里纳(Alfred Lazarus Rina)在该省第33周年和第二次任命日庆祝活动上宣布了这一消息。
里纳部长在市镇地面橄榄球体育场以贵宾身份发言时表示,增加的资金主要是由于PCDF分配公式的变化和对基金模式的审查。
他说,自基金设立以来,已经向伦内尔和贝洛纳省转移了超过1290万所罗门元,资助了该省大约27个已完成的发展项目,这些项目通过SIG-PCDF、IEDCR-PCDF和UNCDF-LoCAL PCDF计划进行资助。
“这些项目不仅仅是纸上的统计数据,”里纳部长说,形容它们为对基本服务、社区基础设施以及省社会和经济发展的改善。
这一宣布是在首席部长埃里克·萨乌哈(Erick Saueha)使用自己的发言列出该省面临的一长串未解决基础设施问题后直接做出的。
萨乌哈在仪式上发表讲话。照片由《岛屿太阳》提供
萨乌哈表示,提戈阿(Tigoa)和阿努阿(Anua)机场状况恶化,需要紧急修复以容纳Dash 8飞机,考虑到航班取消的积压和高昂的机票及货运成本,并呼吁对拟建的东伦内尔机场进行可行性研究。
在码头方面,他感谢国家政府和亚洲开发银行(ADB)为贝洛纳的阿汉加码头提供资金,但表示尽管SIIP和DFAT已经对可能的地点进行了调查,拉瓦古码头项目仍然没有资金。
他还表示,通往特甘诺湖(Lake Tegano)和拉瓦古港(Lavagu Port)的道路需要进一步维护,而伦内尔和贝洛纳的航运服务在MV Anjeanette沉没之前已经紧张,迫使该省缩减自己的周年庆祝活动。

萨乌哈还提到了贝洛纳和东伦内尔缺乏警察岗亭、学校和医疗设施恶化、缺乏体育基础设施,以及由于居民离开省份寻求教育、医疗和工作的城市漂移现象。
里纳部长承认了这些挑战,并表示,连通性仍然是所罗门群岛最偏远省份之一发展的最大障碍之一,而MV Anjeanette上的货物损失进一步突显了我们岛屿社区的脆弱性以及对可靠航运服务的迫切需求。
他说,省政府将继续与相关部门、发展伙伴和省政府合作,利用可用资源解决这些问题。
关于首席部长对更大分权和收入共享的呼吁,里纳部长表示,继续获得PCDF资金的前提是省政府遵守2018年伦内尔和贝洛纳省议会批准的财务法规,他将问责要求形容为良好治理的体现,而不是强加的障碍。
“良好治理不是发展的障碍;它是通往发展的道路,”他说。
里纳部长还宣布,通过省级治理强化计划和其他捐助方资助的倡议,伦内尔和贝洛纳省现在已配备了推动其发展议程所需的技术专长,包括规划、项目实施、监测、财务管理和工程服务。

The installation work began on 6 July and was completed on 10 July, covering schools across Simbo, Ranongga, Vella La Vella, and Rendova Islands.
On Ranongga Island, eight temporary learning tents were installed across affected schools. These included one tent each at Kolomali Primary School, Sidoko Community High School, Saevuke Primary School, Kundu Primary School, Buri Community High School, and Korovuku Primary School. Two additional tents were provided for Kundu Early Childhood Education Centre.
On Vella La Vella Island, Leona Primary School and Jones Adventist College Primary School each received one temporary learning tent.
On Rendova Island, Tirongo Primary School and Bradie Primary School each received one tent.
Meanwhile, five tents were installed on Simbo Island across affected schools. These included one tent each at Lengana High School and Tuku Primary School, while Nusa Simbo Primary School and Tapurai Primary School received additional tents.
ADRA Emergency Support Staff Raynick Jack said ADRA engaged 35 volunteers who worked alongside local communities to complete the temporary learning tent installations.
He said the tents would provide safe and secure learning spaces for students whose schools were damaged by Tropical Cyclone Maila, allowing education to continue while permanent repairs and reconstruction plans are being developed.
“I would like to thank all the volunteers who assisted during the setup of these tents. I also encourage the schools that received these tents as relief assistance to utilise them properly to support learning while awaiting the implementation of long-term recovery plans,” Mr Jack said.
Mr Jack also encouraged schools and surrounding communities to take good care of the tents to ensure they remain in good condition and continue supporting students over the longer term.
As part of the support, the ADRA team provided practical training and involved community members and school representatives in the tent installation process to build local capacity and encourage proper maintenance of the facilities.

The Solomon Islands National University (SINU) says it has made significant progress in strengthening its governance, academic quality and institutional development while outlining key priorities for the months ahead.
In a statement released over the weekend, SINU announced that Vice-Chancellor Professor Transform Aqorau issued a Strategic Leadership Overview report covering the University’s achievements, challenges and priorities from March 16 to July 18, 2026.
The report outlines progress in governance, accreditation, teaching and learning, student welfare, staff development, financial reform, infrastructure, research, commercialisation, renewable energy and strategic partnerships.
Professor Aqorau said the report goes beyond documenting activities and instead reflects the university’s long-term vision for transformation.
“The work we are undertaking is interconnected. Strengthening governance, improving academic quality, supporting students and staff, modernising systems, developing partnerships and improving financial sustainability are all essential to building a stronger national university,” he said.
According to SINU, major achievements during the reporting period include the launch of the SINU Strategic Plan 2026–2030.
Other achievements include progress on SITESA registration and accreditation, reviews of academic programmes and implementation of the Technology One Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
There was also engagement with the Government on outstanding funding, student exchange programmes, infrastructure projects, research and policy initiatives, and the establishment of new local and international partnerships.
SINU said its priorities for the next six months include completing accreditation requirements and strengthening human resources and financial management systems.
The statement said this also involves advancing the ERP project, improving infrastructure, enhancing student services, expanding research and partnerships, growing commercial activities and pursuing renewable energy initiatives.
The SINU also acknowledged ongoing challenges including funding shortages, outstanding government arrears, ageing infrastructure, delays in recruitment, fragmented systems and limited institutional capacity.
Professor Aqorau thanks the University Council, Senate, staff, students and partners for their continued support.
“The transformation of SINU will take time, but the foundations are being laid. Our next task is to maintain momentum, strengthen implementation and remain focused on serving our students and the people of Solomon Islands,” he said.
The Strategic Leadership Overview report is yet to be formally presented to the University Council, Senate and Senior Management Committee.
