MINISTRY OF EDUCATION CORPORATE PLAN 2003 / 2004

1. Introduction

The strengthening of basic literacy and numeracy remains a high priority for the Ministry in 2003/04 with initiatives being the completion of the English and Maori
curricula, extension of the reading programme, establishment of the Maori Dialect Readers Project, development of the Mathematics curriculum, piloting of the Numeracy
Project and the introduction of literacy and numeracy diagnostic tests for all six year old students.

The Ministry’s long term plan for a relevant curriculum based on the Cook Islands Curriculum Framework will be further advanced through curriculum statements being
prepared for English, Maori, Mathematics, Health, Physical Education, Art and Science. Teachers will also be supported in these curriculum areas through the provision of
advice and inservice training while special education programmes will also be strengthened through the appointment of an adviser from New Zealand and resources funded
by NZAID.

The phase-in of standards based qualifications will be completed in 2004 with Form 7 programmes changing from Bursary to NCEA Level 3 and comprehensive training
in NZ will be provided for 7th Form teachers. Recruitment of Cook Islanders for secondary teaching is a significant problem resulting in increasing reliance on expatriates.
Solutions will include the Education Support Project, Overseas Direct Recruitment and inter-agency cooperation to develop and implement strategies resulting in more
Cook Islanders choosing secondary teaching as a career. The supply of preschool and primary school teachers will be maintained through two classes of teacher trainees at
the Cook Islands Teachers Training College. In 2003/04 the Ministry will continue to improve the quality, relevancy and cost-effectiveness of the CITTC programmes.

School management and delivery will continue to be improved through School Management Facilitators, curriculum advisers, school audits, teacher performance
management and national student monitoring. Policies for the staffing and resourcing of schools will be reviewed and significant investments made in school facilities and
resources through the European Union funded Outer Island Development Project ($305, 000 for Outer Island schools) and the NZAID School Resources Project (about
$150,000). UNESCO funds will also be utilized to promote the role of parents as first teachers. Equitable access to education for outer island students will be ensured
through continuation of distance education courses and financial assistance to enable students to continue their education off-island.
