Education Research Bank
The Education Research Bank is the Pacific’s own digital infrastructure that houses education related research information from across the region. The research bank provides a web-based platform allowing Pacific Island countries as well as existing and emerging development partners to be aware of the research already available in the region. Through this platform, the Pacific has the opportunity to contribute critical and trusted research towards a regional pool that has the power to inform future education policies of the region.PILNA 2021 Small Island States Report

Abstract:
Data does not provide any benefits if it is not made accessible to its intended users in a meaningful manner. Learning from the journey of the past 3 cycles, the Pacific Islands Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (PILNA) 2021 Report has adopted a new approach that allows our region to actively control data retrieval. The new approach ensures that the entire report is available online and encourages greater data exploration rather than passive consumption of information. PILNA was developed by Pacific Community’s (SPC) Educational Quality & Assessment Programme (EQAP) in 2012 to provide a snapshot of how the region’s Year 4 and Year 6 students across 15 Pacific island countries (PICs) in the region are faring in the skills essential to progress through school and life. Areas covered included reading, writing, numbers, operations, measurements and data. In the fourth cycle of PILNA, administered in 2021, over 40,000 students were involved.
