Join the 2025 Vaka Pasifiki Education Conference to reflect on the role of scholarly research and innovation that foster culturally inclusive approaches to policy, curriculum, pedagogy, and educational reform. Commemorating over two decades of Pacific educational dialogue, Vaka Pasifiki will berth for the first time in Micronesia.

The 2025 Conference provides a platform to reimagine Pacific education through contextually relevant and culturally responsive approaches.
