The Office of Learning & Teaching is organising a three-day International Learning and Teaching Symposium,
which will be held on 17th, 18th, and 19th November 2026.
The theme of the Symposium is “Quality Education for Development & Employability.”
We invite proposals for veitalanoa (panel discussions) and abstracts for oral presentations
from educators, researchers, and practitioners.
This three-day event aims to foster veitalanoa (dialogue),
encourage veisemati (network-building),
and showcase relevant and innovative educational practices.
