| Pasifika Enabling Education Network (Pasifika EENET)
This is a new information-sharing regional network that aims to increase knowledge and awareness about inclusive education. It is inspired by, although not directly run by, EENET. Pasifika EENET is the outcome of research by Dr Susie Miles (The University of Manchester); the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat; the Pacific Disability Forum; and involving stakeholders in the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati and Samoa. The research listened to children, parents, disabled people, teachers, teacher educators and policy-makers to identify networking and information priorities. Pasifika EENET’s website was launched by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in September 2013. See: www.eenetpasifika.org or email:eenetpasifika@gmail.com |
