On Friday 20th August 2021, COESI held a forum for school leaders in Auki. The school leaders who attended the forum were from Faiako community high school, Gwaigeo community high school, Kilusakwalo community high school, Aimela community high school, Sigitae low, Townend community high school, Auki community high school, Busurata community high school and representatives from Sinasu in west Kwaio.
The forum was held purposely for COESI to present a report on a study conducted in 2020. The study title: ‘ Homeschooling in Solomon Islands’:How could it work? The survey was carried out in 16 schools, including schools in Malaita, Guadalcanal, and Honiara. The study was to determine the capacity of parents and schools to support students to homeschool and discover the obstacles and difficulties the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development(MEHRD) might face in attempting to implement.
