The much-anticipated one-day Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) Education Symposium aims to assess the performance of the ACOM education system.

The event will be hosted at St Barnabas Cathedral Leaf Hut on Tuesday 17 June from 8am-5pm and will bring together well over 60 participants.

ACOM Education Secretary Desmond Waita said the three main sessions of the symposium will highlight the past, the present and future of ACOM education.

The event follows a resolution passed at the ACOM General Synod held in November 2023 at Selwyn College.

“The symposium will provide an opportunity for ACOM education leaders and its key education stakeholders to have an open discussion on the outcomes achieved by ACOM education system, obstacles faced, shared experiences, lessons learned and propose remedies to address challenges to improve implementation of its education system.” Mr Waita said.

He said three main sessions of the symposium will highlight the past, present and the future of ACOM education.

“On this regard, the overall objective of the symposium is to assess the performance of ACOM education based on analysis of its performance, identify key issues and challenges encountered and agree on actions to overcome the issues.

Education Secretary Waita said that expected results of the symposium is to seek clarity on priority areas for implementation by ACOM education stakeholders and better improve collaboration, coordination and cooperation between stakeholders and the ACOM education department.
