Oceania Comparative

"Participating in the 50th Annual OCIES Conference held in Lautoka, Fiji Islands proved to be an invaluable experience in my capacity as a teacher-researcher. This conference afforded me the opportunity to forge collaborative connections with fellow researchers from the Pacific region, which, in turn, enriched my capacity for critical thinking and scholarly writing. Through active engagement in discussions and the presentation of my research, I not only garnered recognition for my contributions but also received constructive feedback from esteemed peers within the field of education. Being the sole representative from Emalus Campus in Vanuatu among USP students, this experience also provided a unique platform for showcasing my research endeavors while concurrently offering me the chance to glean insights from the work of others. Consequently, it fostered an environment conducive to knowledge exchange and personal growth."
