Etupioh: Keeping Our Children Safe Is a Shared Responsibility By ULUTAH GINA Solomon Star, Gizo Looking after and protecting children from violence and abuse is a shared responsibility that requires the commitment of parents, families, communities, churches, schools, government agencies, and every member of society. This was the key message delivered by the Western Provincial Government's Education Authority representative, Willy Etupioh, during the launch of the second phase of the Solomon Islands Endim Vaelens Againstem Pikinini (SIEVAP) project held last week at Imagination Island, just outside Gizo Town. Speaking on behalf of the Western Provincial Government (WPG), Mr. Etupioh said the responsibility of caring for children should not rest solely with parents or government authorities. Instead, every individual has a role to play in ensuring children grow up in safe, supportive, and nurturing environments free from violence, neglect, and abuse. "Our children are our future, and their safety and wellbeing should be everyone's concern," Mr. Etupioh said. He stressed that while parents remain the primary caregivers, communities must also remain vigilant and work together to prevent all forms of violence against children. "Children deserve to grow up in homes and communities where they feel safe, respected, and loved. Protecting them is not only a family responsibility but also a community responsibility," he said. Mr. Etupioh acknowledged the efforts of organisations, development partners, community leaders, teachers, churches, and government ministries that continue to raise awareness about child protection across the country. He said projects such as SIEVAP play an important role in educating communities about children's rights, encouraging positive parenting practices, and strengthening systems that respond to cases of child abuse and neglect. The Western Provincial Government, he said, remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote child protection, improve education, and strengthen partnerships between government agencies, non-government organisations, and local communities. Mr. Etupioh encouraged parents to spend more time with their children, listen to their concerns, and guide them with care, patience, and understanding. He also called on community leaders to report cases of abuse and ensure children receive the protection and support they deserve. He said ending violence against children requires a collective effort and that lasting change can only be achieved when everyone works together toward the same goal. The second phase of the Solomon Islands Endim Vaelens Againstem Pikinini (SIEVAP) project aims to strengthen child protection systems, increase public awareness of children's rights, and empower communities to create safer environments where every child can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. The launch brought together representatives from the Western Provincial Government, national government ministries, development partners, civil society organisations, community leaders, and other stakeholders who reaffirmed their commitment to protecting the rights and wellbeing of children throughout the Solomon Islands. The event also highlighted the importance of continued collaboration, community participation, and education in preventing violence against children and building a safer future for the next generation.

埃图皮奥:保护儿童是全社会的共同责任 By ULUTAH GINA Solomon Star, Gizo 照顾和保护儿童免受暴力和虐待是一个共同的责任,需要父母、家庭、社区、教会、学校、政府机构和社会每个成员的承诺。 这是西部省政府教育局代表Willy Etupioh在上周于吉佐镇外的想象岛举行的所罗门群岛“反对儿童暴力”(SIEVAP)项目第二阶段启动仪式上传达的主要信息。 Etupioh先生代表西部省政府(WPG)表示,照顾儿童的责任不应仅由父母或政府当局承担。相反,每个人都有责任确保儿童在安全、支持和关爱的环境中成长,远离暴力、忽视和虐待。 “我们的孩子是我们的未来,他们的安全和福祉应该是每个人的关注,”Etupioh先生说。 他强调,虽然父母仍然是主要的照顾者,但社区也必须保持警惕,共同努力防止对儿童的各种形式的暴力。 “儿童应该在感到安全、受到尊重和被爱的家庭和社区中成长。保护他们不仅是家庭的责任,也是社区的责任,”他说。 Etupioh先生赞扬了继续提高全国儿童保护意识的组织、发展伙伴、社区领导、教师、教会和政府部门的努力。 他说,像SIEVAP这样的项目在教育社区儿童权利、鼓励积极的育儿实践以及加强应对儿童虐待和忽视案件的系统方面发挥着重要作用。 他说,西部省政府将继续支持促进儿童保护、改善教育和加强政府机构、非政府组织与地方社区之间合作的倡议。 Etupioh先生鼓励父母多花时间与孩子在一起,倾听他们的关切,并以关心、耐心和理解来引导他们。 他还呼吁社区领导报告虐待案件,确保儿童获得应有的保护和支持。 他说,结束对儿童的暴力需要集体努力,只有当每个人朝着同一目标共同努力时,才能实现持久的改变。 所罗门群岛“反对儿童暴力”(SIEVAP)项目的第二阶段旨在加强儿童保护系统,提高公众对儿童权利的认识,并赋予社区创造更安全环境的能力,使每个儿童都能学习、成长并发挥其全部潜力。 此次启动仪式汇聚了来自西部省政府、国家政府部门、发展伙伴、民间社会组织、社区领导和其他利益相关者的代表,他们重申了保护所罗门群岛儿童权利和福祉的承诺。 该活动还强调了持续合作、社区参与和教育在防止对儿童的暴力和为下一代建设更安全的未来中的重要性。 结束 照片- Willy Etupioh WPAg代表发表开幕词
BY TONY IROGA Australia has reaffirmed its commitment to support community development and education in Solomon Islands with the handover of four water tanks to St Joseph Tenaru Secondary School. Speaking during the handover ceremony at the school yesterday, Australia’s Acting High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, Andrew Schloeffel said the project reflects the strong and growing partnership between Australia and Solomon Islands while demonstrating the importance of empowering local communities. Mr Schloeffel acknowledged the presence of the Minister for Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs (MWYCFA), John Maneniaru, Catholic Education Secretary of the Archdiocese of Honiara, Jackson Meke, St Joseph Tenaru Secondary School Principal Jeffrey Poea, members of the school board and the wider school community. “We sincerely congratulate everyone who was involved in bringing this important project to life,” he said. “This project reflects not only the collaboration between Australia and Solomon Islands, but also our shared vision for a brighter future for the people of this country.” He said Australia believes the best development outcomes are achieved when local communities are empowered to take ownership of projects that improve their wellbeing. “This project is another example of a strong partnership between our two countries, where local communities are supported to take charge of their future,” he said. He revealed that the St Joseph Tenaru water tank project is one of 342 community partnership projects funded by Australia across Solomon Islands since 2019. “Australia has funded projects in every constituency and every province, making a real difference to the lives of thousands of Solomon Islanders,” he said. He added that Australia has invested more than SBD74.5 million in community development initiatives and local businesses through its Community Partnerships Programme. “We have recently opened a new round of Community Partnerships funding, and we encourage schools and community leaders to submit applications so we can continue supporting local development,” he said. Highlighting education as a key priority, Schloeffel said Australia remains committed to working closely with the Solomon Islands Government to improve access to quality education. “Education is one of the most important areas of cooperation between Australia and Solomon Islands. We are proud to support the Government’s Free Education Policy and our shared commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality education,” he said. Looking ahead, Schloeffel said both countries have a historic opportunity to further strengthen their relationship through a Comprehensive Bilateral Treaty. “This treaty will elevate our partnership to a new level, built on trust, mutual respect and open dialogue,” he said. He thanked the St Joseph Tenaru project committee, school leadership, community representatives, women’s representatives and volunteers for their dedication in delivering the project. “In celebrating these new water tanks today, we are also celebrating a brighter future that Australia and Solomon Islands continue to build together through our enduring partnership,” he said. St Joseph Tenaru Secondary School Principal Jeffrey Poea expressed gratitude to the Australian Government, through the Australian High Commission to Solomon Islands, for funding the water tank project. Mr Poea also acknowledged Australia’s previous support for the refurbishment of school buildings, valued at a total of SBD12 million, saying the assistance has significantly improved the school’s infrastructure and learning environment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FORM 7's.
Form 7 学生重要通知。
BY DOUGLAS VAHIA A teacher at Sir Dudley Tuti College in Isabel Province is under investigation after allegedly whipping three male students with a ‘timber stick’, leaving one of them hospitalised with a suspected spinal injury. The incident occurred at around 6.30pm on Wednesday, July 22, while the students – one in Form 6, and two in Form 5 – were on duty as school caretakers during the term break. A source on the ground, who requested anonymity, said the teacher struck the boys across their backs without warning, in what one witness described as a mixture of “punches and whips”. Community members say the students were simply carrying out their caretaker duties when they were allegedly attacked without provocation. The School Principal told Island Sun yesterday the matter was an internal one and that reports circulating on Facebook were exaggerated and misleading the public. He maintained the incident was not as serious as portrayed. The principal said the teacher was related to some of the girls in the school dormitory, and that he (principal) was currently in town and still waiting for the school to formally report the incident to him. Isabel Principal Education Officer (PEO) and School Review Standards Officer, Ruben Dotho Jr, told the Island Sun that so far there has been no official report from the school. He said he is still waiting for a formal written complaint from the School Principal before the matter can be acted upon. Almost a week on, no formal report has been received. Speaking to the Island Sun yesterday, Provincial Minister for Health and Medical Services, Nathaniel Gudfraede, said one of the victims, a Form 5 student, is currently warded at Buala Hospital, where he is undergoing x-rays for a suspected spinal injury. Hospital staff say his back pain and possible bone damage are consistent with the alleged whipping. “The teacher should not apply the old system of whipping students. We expect our children to be safe in the hands of the school, and that kind of discipline should not be practised. It was a very sad report to hear,” said Gudfraede. The teacher could not be reached for comment. The other two students sustained less severe injuries and are said to be recovering under medical care. It is understood the case has been forwarded to the police for further investigation. Police commander for Isabel province could not be reached yesterday for comments.

作者:道格拉斯·瓦希亚 伊莎贝尔省的萨尔·达德利·图提学院(Sir Dudley Tuti College)一名教师因涉嫌用“木棍”体罚三名男学生而正在接受调查,其中一名学生因疑似脊椎受伤而住院。 事件发生在7月22日星期三晚上6点30分左右,当时这三名学生——一名在 Year 6(Form 6),两名在 Year 5(Form 5)——在学期休假期间担任学校看护。 一位要求匿名的现场消息人士表示,教师在没有任何警告的情况下打了男孩们的背部,一位目击者形容这是一种“拳打和鞭打”的混合。 社区成员表示,这些学生在被指控无缘无故袭击时,只是在履行他们的看护职责。 学校校长昨天告诉《岛屿太阳报》(Island Sun),此事属于内部问题,社交媒体上流传的报告被夸大并误导了公众。 他坚称事件并没有被描述得那么严重。 校长表示,这名教师与学校宿舍的一些女孩有亲属关系,而他(校长)目前在城里,仍在等待学校正式向他报告此事件。 伊莎贝尔省首席教育官(PEO)及学校评估标准官员鲁本·多托(Ruben Dotho Jr)告诉《岛屿太阳报》,到目前为止,学校尚未提交正式报告。 他说,他仍在等待校长的正式书面投诉,以便对此事采取行动。几乎一周过去了,仍未收到正式报告。 昨天,省卫生和医疗服务部长纳撒尼尔·古德弗雷德(Nathaniel Gudfraede)在接受《岛屿太阳报》采访时表示,其中一名受害者,一名 Year 5(Form 5)学生,目前在布阿拉医院(Buala Hospital)住院,正在接受疑似脊椎受伤的X光检查。 医院工作人员表示,他的背痛和可能的骨损伤与所称的体罚一致。 古德弗雷德表示:“教师不应该采用旧的体罚学生的方式。我们希望我们的孩子在学校的手中是安全的,这种纪律不应被实践。听到这样的报告非常令人难过。” 目前无法联系到该教师以获取评论。 另外两名学生受伤较轻,正在医疗照护下恢复。 据了解,此案已转交警方进一步调查。 伊莎贝尔省的警察指挥官昨天无法联系到以发表评论。 反馈请联系:diivee56@gmail.com 编辑:irwin3angiki@gmail.com

AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES BRING WORLD-CLASS STUDY OPPORTUNITIES CLOSER TO SOLOMON ISLANDERS Fifteen leading Australian universities visited Honiara from 13 to 14 July 2026 for a Study Australia Education Mission (Roadshow), giving Solomon Islanders a unique opportunity to explore study options, connect directly with university representatives and take the next step towards an Australian education. The roadshow welcomed Australia Awards Scholarships applicants for Intake 2027, self-funded students, alumni, and education sector partners. Through one-on-one consultations, participants gained practical information on courses, campuses, student life and the support available to help them succeed. Australia’s High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, Jeff Roach, hosted participating universities, Australia Awards alumni Austrade representatives, and Solomon Islands Government officials at his residence on 14 July. “Every Solomon Islander who studies in Australia carries with them not only their own hopes and ambitions, but also the potential to bring new skills, ideas and connections back home,” High Commissioner Roach said. “That is why education is such an important pillar of the Solomon Islands-Australia partnership. Investing in people is one of the most powerful things we can do as a development partner.” Solomon Islands Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development Deputy Secretary Corporate, Coldrine Kolae, encouraged Solomon Islanders to take advantage of study opportunities in Australia, saying the knowledge and experience gained are an investment in the country’s future development. Australian Trade and Investment Commissioner for Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, Esther Sun, said it was important that Solomon Islanders knew about the full range of education opportunities available in Australia. “This roadshow brings Australian education closer to Solomon Islanders, providing direct access to trusted information, expert guidance, and world-class study opportunities” Commissioner Sun said. “It reflects our shared commitment to investing in people and empowering the next generation of leaders, professionals and change-makers.” For many participants, the roadshow helped turn study aspirations into achievable plans. One Australia Awards candidate for Intake 2027 said the event helped her better understand her preferred course, the university application process and what life would be like in her chosen Australian state. As of February 2026, 137 Solomon Islanders were studying in Australia, including 77 Australia Awards scholars. They are part of a growing community of students and alumni using Australian education to build skills, strengthen institutions and support communities across the country.

BY JOSES SAREN Japan will help fund Solomon Islands’ free education policy through a concessional loan already signed, and has pledged support for a new school through the Sasakawa Foundation, Prime Minister Matthew Wale said upon his arrival home yesterday afternoon from an official visit to Tokyo. Wale described Japan as a reliable, long-standing partner, saying past disappointments in the relationship had been overcome and bilateral ties realigned to a “good, reliable partnership”. He said the concessional loan that was signed will ensure that the free education policy rolls out in full from January. “We have money to start free education on January, full complete roll out,” Wale said. He said Japan, through the Sasakawa Foundation, part of the Nippon Foundation, had pledged to build a new school, with further details to be worked out when the Foundation’s chief executive visits Solomon Islands next month. “We are thinking that’s a TAFE, a national level TAFE institution,” Wale said, adding that the goal was to support the country’s STEM and skills objectives within the education system. During the Tokyo visit, Wale was accorded a Guard of Honour and held bilateral talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and also met Nippon Foundation Honorary Chair Yohei Sasakawa and JICA President Akihiko Tanaka, with whom Solomon Islands separately signed a Development Policy Loan for fiscal stability and economic resilience.

作者:乔塞斯·萨伦 日本将通过已签署的优惠贷款资助所罗门群岛的免费教育政策,并承诺通过佐佐川基金会支持一所新学校,首相马修·韦尔在昨日下午从东京的正式访问回国时表示。 韦尔称日本是一个可靠的长期合作伙伴,表示过去在两国关系中的失望已被克服,双边关系重新调整为“良好、可靠的伙伴关系”。 他表示,签署的优惠贷款将确保免费教育政策从一月起全面实施。 “我们有资金在一月开始免费教育,全面推广,”韦尔说。 他表示,日本通过佐佐川基金会(Nippon Foundation的一部分)承诺建设一所新学校,具体细节将在基金会首席执行官下个月访问所罗门群岛时进一步商讨。 “我们认为那是一个国家级的TAFE(技术与继续教育学院)机构,”韦尔说,并补充说目标是支持该国在教育系统内的STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)和技能目标。 在东京访问期间,韦尔受到仪仗队的欢迎,并与日本首相高市早苗举行了双边会谈,还会见了日本财团名誉主席佐佐川洋平和JICA(日本国际协力机构)总裁田中明彦,所罗门群岛与他们分别签署了一项旨在实现财政稳定和经济韧性的开发政策贷款。 照片来源:Island Sun 反馈请联系:josessaren@gmail.com 编辑:irwin3angiki@gmail.com

BY TONY IROGA The Solomon Islands National University (SINU) has secured a new grant from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to refurbish its Department of Fisheries Complex at the Ranadi Campus, strengthening facilities for fisheries education. The grant agreement, worth up to US$54,548, was signed on Wednesday between SINU Vice-Chancellor Professor Transform Aqorau and KOICA Fiji Country Director Han Kyul Sam Cho. According to a SINU statement, the funding will support the renovation of the Fisheries Department building under the Support for the Establishment and Capacity Building of Fisheries Studies in Solomon Islands project. Professor Aqorau said the agreement reflects the strong partnership between Solomon Islands and the Republic of Korea. “Today’s signing reflects the deep friendship and enduring partnership between the Republic of Korea and Solomon Islands. Through KOICA, the Government and people of Korea have consistently invested in strengthening higher education and human resource development in our country,” he said. He said the refurbishment will provide students and staff with a modern learning environment that better supports practical training, research and innovation in fisheries. “We are delighted that KOICA has once again demonstrated its confidence in SINU by supporting the refurbishment of this important facility. When completed, our students will enjoy a refreshed and attractive learning environment,” he said. He also highlighted the importance of fisheries to the country’s economy, saying the upgraded facility will help prepare future fisheries professionals to sustainably manage Solomon Islands’ marine resources. The statement said under the agreement, SINU will oversee the design, procurement and construction of the refurbishment works, while KOICA will provide funding and technical support. “The Fisheries Complex was originally funded by KOICA and built by Hatanga Limited. Once the refurbishment is completed, the facility will continue to be owned and maintained by SINU,” the statement said. Professor Aqorau thanked KOICA and the Government of the Republic of Korea for their continued support, saying SINU looks forward to expanding cooperation in education, research, innovation and capacity building. The refurbishment project is expected to improve teaching and learning for current and future fisheries students while supporting the wider fisheries sector in Solomon Islands.

BY BEN BILUA Gizo EVERY child in Solomon Islands deserves to grow up free from violence, exploitation and harmful practices, Save the Children Solomon Islands Lead Advocacy Officer Fredrick Seni says. Speaking during the launch of the second phase of the Solomon Islands Endim Vaelens Againstem Pikinini (SIEVAP) Project in Gizo, Seni said violence against children remains a serious concern and requires the collective commitment of everyone to address. He said children make up the largest segment of Solomon Islands’ population and represent the country’s future, making their protection a shared responsibility. “Children continue to experience violence in Solomon Islands, and that needs to stop. “As parents, leaders, service providers, community members and partners, we all share the responsibility of ensuring that every child is safe, protected, heard and given the opportunity to thrive,” Seni. He stressed that every child has the right to grow up in a safe and supportive environment where they can reach their full potential. Seni also highlighted the importance of protecting girls from harmful practices that prevent them from accessing education and achieving their aspirations. “Every girl deserves the opportunity to complete her education. Every child deserves adults who will stand up, speak out and protect their rights,” he said. Seni challenged individuals, families and communities to reflect on the role they can play in creating safer environments for children. “Today, I challenge each one of us to ask ourselves: What can I do to make my home, my village, my school and my community safer for children?” he said. Seni emphasised that safeguarding children is not solely the responsibility of the government or development partners but of every member of society. “Together, let us ensure that girls are sitting in classrooms, pursuing their dreams and preparing for a brighter future—not being married before they have even had the chance to be children,” he said. The SIEVAP Phase Two project aims to strengthen efforts to prevent violence against children and promote safer communities through collaboration with government agencies, churches, community leaders, youth groups and development partners across Solomon Islands.

作者:本·比卢亚 吉佐 所罗门群岛的每个孩子都应在没有暴力、剥削和有害行为的环境中成长,救助儿童所罗门群岛的首席倡导官弗雷德里克·塞尼(Fredrick Seni)表示。 在吉佐举行的所罗门群岛反对儿童暴力(SIEVAP)项目第二阶段启动仪式上,塞尼表示,针对儿童的暴力行为仍然是一个严重问题,需要大家共同努力来解决。 他说,儿童是所罗门群岛人口中最大的群体,代表着国家的未来,因此保护他们是大家的共同责任。 “儿童在所罗门群岛继续遭受暴力,这必须停止。 “作为父母、领导者、服务提供者、社区成员和合作伙伴,我们都有责任确保每个孩子都安全、受到保护、被倾听,并有机会茁壮成长,”塞尼说。 他强调,每个孩子都有权在安全和支持的环境中成长,以实现他们的全部潜力。 塞尼还强调了保护女孩免受有害行为的重要性,这些行为妨碍她们接受教育和实现自己的愿望。 “每个女孩都应有机会完成她的教育。每个孩子都应有成年人站出来、发声并保护他们的权利,”他说。 塞尼呼吁个人、家庭和社区反思他们在为儿童创造更安全环境中可以发挥的作用。 “今天,我挑战我们每一个人问自己:我能做些什么来让我的家、我的村庄、我的学校和我的社区对儿童更安全?”他说。 塞尼强调,保护儿童不仅是政府或发展伙伴的责任,而是社会每个成员的责任。 “让我们共同努力,确保女孩能够坐在教室里,追求自己的梦想,为更光明的未来做好准备,而不是在她们甚至还没有机会做孩子之前就被迫结婚,”他说。 SIEVAP第二阶段项目旨在通过与政府机构、教会、社区领导、青年团体和发展伙伴的合作,加强预防针对儿童的暴力和促进更安全社区的努力。 如需反馈,请联系:maetuana777@gmail.com 编辑:irwin3angiki@gmail.com
BY CHARLES STENNETT Discussions are now under way on the rollout of the government’s education commitments following a meeting between the Policy Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit, (PIMEU), of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development’s (MEHRD) Senior Executive team last week. A statement from MEHRD, said the meeting brought together the PIMEU Social Sector Team and MEHRD’s Senior Executive Management to review implementation progress, strengthen policy coordination, and advance key Government education priorities. It said discussions in the meeting focused on the rollout of the Government for Reform, Empowerment, Accountability and Transformation (GREAT), flagship education commitments which are; Education for All, Education Reform, Free Education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Teachers’ Welfare, and School Infrastructure Development. The engagement highlighted that substantial progress is already underway with the majority of the Government’s priority commitments now reflected in MEHRD’s Annual Work Plan, demonstrating strong alignment between the GREAT Coalition’s policy vision and the Ministry’s implementation framework. The meeting also identified opportunities to further strengthen implementation mechanisms and accelerate delivery of the Coalition’s flagship policies. The statement said the timing of the engagement is significant as MEHRD undertakes a review of the current National Education Action Plan (NEAP), and is preparing for the next phase of the nation’s education strategy. The statement said, the Government remains committed to ensuring that every Solomon Islands child has access to quality, inclusive and affordable education. Implementation of the Free Education Policy and the wider Education Reform Agenda is a cornerstone of the GREAT Coalition’s vision to make education the most strategic investment in the nation’s future human capital. The meeting concluded with both institutions reaffirming their commitment to intensify collaboration and accelerate implementation of the GREAT Coalition’s education priorities. Together, they remain focused on delivering tangible improvements for students, empowering teachers, strengthening schools and centers, and creating better opportunities for communities across the Solomon Islands.
