Publisher:Samoa Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture
Issued:August 25, 2025
Abstract:
The National Teaching and Learning Policy (the NTLP) is the core policy of any education system as it sets out how we will achieve high standards in achievement and puts learning at the centre of all that we do. The policy ensures that everyone is committed to achieving a high quality consistent approach to learning and providing an excellent educational experience for all our children. Therefore it should be holistic and transformational as they mutually inform each other in practice. Furthermore, it strengthens an outcomes-based curriculum which identifies the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that all learners should be able to demonstrate at a particular year level in a particular subject. The NTLP promotes best practices and establishes consistency in teaching and learning across all schools. It aims to ensure that all children are provided with high quality learning experiences that lead to a consistently high level of student engagement and achievement. This policy also aims to equip and assist teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge enabling and supporting them to provide effective teaching.
