At the 2014 AGM a decision was made to change the name of our regional society from the Australian and New Zealand Comparative and International Education Society (ANZCIES) to one more representative of the region within which our society exists, and more inclusive of educationists from the many countries within Oceania. A subsequent survey of members’ views on the replacement name indicated a majority preference for OCIES, the Oceania Comparative and International Education Society.
