For every child, Education.

The Solomon Islands’ early learning system provides educational programs for children aged three to five. It includes Early Childhood Education (ECE) services for three- and four-year-olds, delivered primarily through community and faith-based centers, and government-managed and privately owned institutions. Additionally, there is the Primary Preparation Year (PPY) programme for five-year-olds, which is part of the formal basic education system and currently has a 71% enrollment rate.

MEHRD has made significant strides in enhancing the early learning system, notably through the Primary Preparation Year (PPY) program. This program aims to provide all children with at least one year of quality education before entering Grade 1. The PPY was developed and led by the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development (MEHRD), with support for curriculum and learning materials development and training from UNICEF, support to roll-out, and multiple supports through the Pacific Regional Education Framework (PacREF) programme, including a government-led evaluation of the PPY programme, yielding findings and recommendations for further enhancements.

With the PPY programme well-established, MEHRD is now prioritizing strengthening ECE for three- and four-year-olds. This renewed focus follows the enactment of the Education Act (2023), which formally recognized ECE as a key component of the education system.

The Early Childhood Education (ECE) sector has been established in the Solomon Islands since the 1980s, but continues to encounter significant challenges, particularly in delivering quality and inclusive education. The current curriculum, Valium Smol Pikinini blong iumi Curriculum Framework, developed in 2010, is deeply rooted in the cultural context of the Solomon Islands and emphasizes creative, play-based learning methodologies. However, it needs to be updated to integrate climate and environmental elements and recent research findings and respond effectively to evolving national, regional, and global educational priorities.

The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development (MERHD) is focused on enhancing Early Childhood Education (ECE) services. It requires technical support to review and revise the curriculum for children aged 3- 4, develop aligned teaching and learning materials, and design teacher development support and training for curriculum rollout. The scope of work below describes this further.

The ECE curriculum review will be conducted under the "Climate Action for the Last Mile: Reaching the Most Vulnerable Children in Solomon Islands" program. This program focuses on delivering climate-smart social services and infrastructure to the most vulnerable children in Guadalcanal Province, ensuring they receive support before, during, and after climate-related disturbances and stresses. The ECE curriculum review and materials will benefit all children in the Solomon Islands.
