Papua New Guinea has officially begun welcoming delegates for the highly anticipated 2025 CPEM meeting.
Papua New Guinea, the first Pacific Island nation to host the CPEM, is honored to convene ministers, officials, civil society, educators, faith-based organizations, and the private sector for crucial discussions on the future of Pacific education,” stated Minister for Education, Lucas Dawa Dekena, MP.
Scheduled from March 18-20, 2025, this will be the second Conference of Pacific Education Ministers (CPEM) with the theme Transforming Edukesen for a Better Pacific and reflects the importance of Pacific nations needing to shift their focus and adopt innovative approaches, particularly in embracing global educational changes.
The inaugural CPEM in 2023 was hosted in Auckland, New Zealand.
The reframing of this Ministerial forum from the Forum Education Ministers Meeting (FEdMM) to the CPEM reflects the transition of the hosting of the meeting from the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) to the University of the South Pacific (USP) where the Pacific Regional Education Framework Facilitation Unit (PacREF PFU) is hosted.
The CPEM signals a strengthened and formalized engagement with civil society organizations (CSOs), key partners in Pacific education development
Education Ministers and senior officials from 19 Pacific Island countries and territories as well as Australia and New Zealand will participate in the three-day tok tok.
The University of the South Pacific is cohost of the 2025 CPEM.
