What are the new ideas, the new trends, and how are they changing the ways that schooling is taking place in our global world? What are the implications of these different ways of thinking for the planning and reform of education in the Pacific? And for the work of the Pacific Regional Initiatives for the Delivery of basic Education (PRIDE) Project?

| 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.

| Title: Teacher education at the crossroads which path should we take? Author: Puamau, Priscilla Qolisaya Subject: | PRIDE Project (Fiji) Teacher educators|Training of Teachers|Training of|Oceania | Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies vol.28, no.1-2, 2006 Collation: 56 - 62; Abstract: Chapter 1 of Pacific Education Series Book 3: Pacific voices: Teacher education on the move, edited by Priscilla Puamau. In this chapter, the author briefly discusses ten issues and challenges facing teacher education in the Pacific. The ideas are culled from her cumulative experience of over two decades of working in teacher education and in education in general in the Pacific region. The important question to ask is: Which path should Pacific countries take in their quest to have the best of both worlds? On the one hand is offered the possibility of an educational system and teacher education models that are solidly grounded and rooted in best traditional or indigenous cultural practices and epistemologies. On the other hand are ranged the best of the offerings of the west and the global world. Or perhaps, rather than 'either . . . or', we need to strive for some kind of blending or grafting of the best that each has to offer, to produce a system uniquely crafted to our particular needs and situations. In this way, and perhaps only in this way, can we make our education systems our own.
