    VSPD supports Its EIP Students During COVID-19 Lockdown.


    Vanuatu Society for People with Disability (VSPD) has stepped up in its community relief
    support to assisting the Early Intervention Program students during the COVID-19 lockdown.
    Vanuatu for the first time, has experienced a COVID-19 community transmission where the
    country declared a lockdown from March to May 2022. The Early Intervention Program
    (EIP) is a core educational initiative of VSPD in supporting children with disabilities from
    ages 1 to 6 years, towards transitioning into the mainstream schools.

    Currently, there are 52 children attending the EIP classes from within five municipal wards
    and five area councils in Port Vila. During the lockdown, the VSPD staff went into the
    communities to distribute the EIP Home School Packages to support continuous learning for
    the EIP students. Parents are very positive about having the opportunity to help and support their children at home with the HSP
    materials during the lockdown. However on the other hand, full-time working mothers are finding it difficult to support their child’s
    learning during homeschooling and this responsibility had to be shared with other family members in the household. The EIP students
    will continue doing the HSP during the month of May and will be looking forward to resuming classes in June 2022.

    Ms. Nancy Swua, VSPD’s Community Based Inclusive Development Officer, who is also a board member of KoBLE, expresses
    gratitude to the Vanuatu Government through its bilateral funding from New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and
    Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in making sure that the program still continues; and also to a number of
    charitable trusts, and the VSPD donors, for their support and donations to the EIP students during the COVID-19 lockdown. Butterfly
    Trust has donated hand sanitizers and masks; Friends Vanuatu gave cash donations of VT3000 to all EIP students; Vanuatu Yumi
    Wan donated food parcels; and World Vision donated hygiene kits.

    The Ministry Of Education And Training’s Home School Package


    On 9th March 2022, the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) uploaded the
    Home School Package (HSP) for students on its website as its response to the COVID-19
    lockdown which was declared on 5th March, 2022. MoET clarified that the HSPs were
    inclusive and were developed as an easy-to-use material that could be used by parents or
    caregivers, and students at higher levels, to support students in their learning.

    The HSPs cater for a 10 week period to maintain the continued learning of the students
    during times of emergency and to give time for teachers to prepare lessons from their Lesson
    Plans, for their students. The ministry also provided 3 Facebook pages, ECCE Home School,
    MoET Vanuatu; Primary Home School, MoET Vanuatu; and Secondary Home School, MoET
    Vanuatu, where parents or caregivers could interact and share their stories on the HSP
    activities.

    The MoET in its press release ‘More than 26, 000 home school booklets to be printed,’ which was published in the Daily Post Issue
    6453 on 27th January 2022, acknowledged KoBLE’s work and considered its Home School Package Report’s recommendations.
