The report provides information on the organisational structure, activities and operations of the National University of Samoa (NUS) over twelve months for the period of 01 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. Included in this report are the NUS audited financial statements for the FY 2013 -2014. Notable achievements were made during this reporting period including: the development, approval and offering of new programmes and courses that are relevant to national development priorities for human resource needs such as the Certificate of Attainment: Trades and Health Preparatory Year programme and Certificate IV in Human Resource Management, and upgrading of existing programmes and courses such as the Graduate Diploma in Education and revised courses for Bachelor of Nursing programme; the signing of new MOUs including with Peace Corps Samoa, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Arizona State University USA and Academic Quality Agency for New Zealand Universities. The signing of these MOUs expanded the number of partners for the NUS for mutually beneficial activities such as collaborative research, staff and student exchange, provision of scholarships and lecturers and quality assurance of NUS programmes and courses;. the establishment of the former OUM under the NUS as the Faculty of Medicine; and the establishment of the NUS PhD programme. There were of course many challenges faced by the NUS during this reporting period, the most overriding of which is its limited resources. However, strategic planning, careful financial management, rigorous implementation of cost saving measures and strict enforcement of payment of students tuition fees together enabled the NUS to move forward with its priority academic and administrative developments during this financial year. 5 The National University of Samoa: Our Direction The National University of Samoa: Looking into the Future with conviction; hence its Vision, Mission and Objectives which emanate from the National University of Samoa’s Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 and reflect the University’s contribution to the attainment of the Vision of the Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS) 2012 – 2016 for “ improved quality of life for all ”. Vision The National University of Samoa will be recognized nationally, regionally and internationally as a vibrant and innovative centre of excellence in research, Samoan Studies and quality teaching and training across all disciplines. Mission To be the provider of Samoan Studies, Quality Teaching, Professional Training and Research to meet the human resource needs of the country Objectives: The reformulated objectives noted below were established in the early stages of the review of the NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 which began in the last reporting period. The revised NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 was approved by the NUS Council in October 2013. For the National University: 1. to be recognized nationally and internationally as the premiere research institute in Samoa; 2. to actively upgrade and maintain quality and creativity in teaching and learning; 3. to foster strong international partnerships and effective community engagement; 4. to transform the University’s physical and IT infrastructure to strategically support research, teaching and learning, community engagement and international partnerships and leadership and governance; and 5. to ensure adherence to principles and practices of successful leadership and good governance in the administration of the University at all levels. 6 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHAIRPERSON OF THE NUS COUNCIL Foreword Due to the sad loss of the NUS Pro Chancellor and Chairperson of the NUS Council, afioga To’omata Alapati Pōese To’omata, who passed away in April 2014, I have the privilege as Deputy Chairperson of the NUS Council to present this report on the operations and activities of the National University of Samoa for the financial period ending 30 June 2014, on behalf of the members of the NUS Council. During this reporting period, a number of significant achievements were made in the University’s development. Against these successes were numerous challenges faced by the University in its determined efforts to achieve its mission. However, with strategic planning and careful financial management, the University met these challenges as best as it can with the limited resources it has, ensuring that the services provided to the students were not compromised. For the purpose of this report, achievements and challenges are summarized under specific sections in the rest of the report. Activities and Performance of the University During this academic, reporting period, administrative and a number of infrastructural proposals were submitted to the Council for its consideration and approval. Sálá Perive Tanuvasa Lene These submissions included: Academic Developments: 1. New Programmes & Courses: Consistent with its intention to offer students more choices for qualifications they wish to pursue, the University continued to develop new academic and TVET programmes and courses that are not only relevant to the students’ qualifications pursuits but also to national development needs. Particularly of note were the development of 7 academic programmes and courses at the postgraduate level reflecting the progressive advancement of the University to higher level qualifications for its students. As a vital of the University’s quality assurance of its programmes and courses, these new programmes and courses had been duly reviewed and endorsed by the Senate, and in turn by the Resource and Space Utilization Committee (RSPUC) that considers the space and resource implications, and approved by the NUS Council. 2. Revised Programmes& Courses Some existing programmes and courses were revised and upgraded to assure their usefulness and relevance to students’ learning. Like new courses and programmes, these upgraded courses and programmes were duly considered and endorsed by Senate and the RSPUC and approved by the Council. The on-going review of existing courses is an important component of the University’s strategies to maintain and upgrade quality and creativity in teaching and learning with the aim to further improve students’ learning outcomes 3. External Reviews The reports of the University’s Review Committee with recommendations on the external review of the programmes and courses of the Faculty of Science and that of the Faculty of Applied Science trades were submitted to the Council at its meeting in October 2013. These reports were duly considered by the Council which resolved to approve the Committee’s recommendations on actions to be taken and for progress to be reported to the next Council meeting. External reviews of programmes and courses of Faculties and Centres every five years by a team of external experts are an integral part of the quality assurance of the University’s academic programmes/courses. Based on the five – yearly schedule for each Faculty, the external review of the Faculty of Arts was conducted during this reporting period. 4. External Audit and Accreditation of the University’s programmes Preparations for the external audit of the University by the Academic Quality Agency for NZ Universities, as approved by Council in the last reporting period, continued during this reporting period. As per Council’s resolution, the dialogue between the NUS and SQA towards the arrangement for the SQA accrediting the NUS Technical Vocational & Educational Training (TVET) programmes continued to some extent 8 during this period. Unfortunately, an official position on the part of the SQA was still pending. Administrative Developments including: 1. Payment of Tuition Fees The VCC decision on the full payment of tuition fees that became effective in the 2013 Academic year continued to be enforced during this reporting period. The decision stipulates that a student must pay the full tuition fees on or before the Friday of the fifth week of lectures in each Semester. After this deadline, a student with outstanding tuition fees would be deregistered and disallowed to attend classes and other course activities as well as use of University’s resources until full payment of outstanding fees. Once the outstanding fees are paid, the student is reregistered and allowed to attend classes. 2. NUS Upgrade Project: During this period, Council approved the submission to Cabinet of a proposal on a strategic and more equitable approach to determining the annual government grant to the University. Unfortunately, the proposal was declined. However, Cabinet approved government support to the University’s infrastructural developments. In this connection, preparations commenced during this reporting period for the NUS Upgrade Project proposal to be submitted to the CDC for consideration for donor funding at the beginning of the next financial year. This project serves to address the urgent need for upgrading facilities that provide critical support services for the teaching and learning of an increasing student population; 3. NUS Annual Fund: The NUS Annual Fund continued its activities to generate additional revenue for the University to help fund its medium sized priority development projects; 4. Marine Ocean Campus: The ground-breaking ceremony for the Marine Ocean Campus & Research Centre site occurred in the third quarter of this reporting period followed by the commencement of the construction of buildings for the Ocean Campus. This project is funded by the government of the People’s Republic of China. 9 5. Change in NUS Chancellor :CHANGE IN NUS CHANCELLOR Towards the end of the second quarter of this reporting period, the NUS Chancellor changed hands from Afioga Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi to Rev.

Table 2 Executive Committee Meetings 2013 - 2014 16 Progress with Achieving Corporate Objectives I am very happy to report that the implementation of activities towards achieving Corporate Objectives, as reflected in the NUS Corporate Plan 2012 – 2014, continued during this reporting period, and note that the implementation of activities were at different stages, depending on the resource requirements of activities. Phase 3 of the integration of all University programmes under a unified Faculty System was successfully completed during this period. New academic and TVET programmes and courses were developed to offer more choices to students for qualifications they are pursuing. Some existing programmes were revised to ensure quality and relevance to national priorities. Certain programmes continued to be deferred pending the availability of qualified staff to teach these programmes while others were on going activities. Professional development for staff was an on - going activity during this period. A total of eight staff members – 2 Teaching, 1 Comparable, 1 Support – were granted approval to commence their PDLs in 2014. This clearly demonstrated the University’s commitment to recruit and retain high calibre staff. Equally important for this period was the ten staff who had successfully completed their PDL studies and are all working at the NUS Research activities, as required by contract for academic staff in Grade 2 and above, continued to be promoted and enforced. The research and academic output for this period provided important details on the status of research projects approved for funding by the University Research and Ethics Committee (UREC) as well as publications by the research staff. The development of Distance Learning courses continued to be work in progress pending the availability of the necessary infrastructure and equipment in the community. A NUS Master Plan is being developed as a crucial activity in pursuing the NUS objective to provide a wholistic enabling environment that is conducive to the teaching and learning of students. To help fund some of the University’s development projects that would enhance the infrastructural environment for teaching and learning, the NUS Annual Fund activities continued during this period. 17 Concluding Remarks This financial year proved to be one of mixed sentiments about occurrences- planned as well as unanticipated – that impacted on the University during the year. The NUS experienced the sad loss of the University’s Pro Chancellor and Chairperson of the NUS Council, Hon. To’omata Alapati Po’ese To’omata, who passed away on 17 April 2014. Afioga To’omata will be remembered as a strong and effective leader in his position of Pro Chancellor and Chairperson of the NUS Council for almost ten years, contributing immensely to the progressive development of the University throughout these years. While acknowledging the loss of afioga To’omata, the University rejoiced in the fact that this financial year proved to be one of many invigorating events and notable milestones in the development of the National University of Samoa, not only academically but also administratively. With the on – going development of new, and upgrading of existing, courses and programmes through internal and external reviews; students enrolled at the NUS were assured of the quality, relevance and availability of choices of the courses and programmes offered by the University. The establishment of the NUS PhD programme, establishment of the Faculty of Medicine under the National University of Samoa and ground-breaking for the Marine Ocean Campus site were three of the many milestones realized during this reporting period. Limited resources continued to be the biggest hurdle in the decision making process of the NUS Council, particularly with infrastructural and capital works proposals. However, prudent financial management and stricter financial controls facilitated by the internal auditor’s on - going assessment of financial processes and practices; implementation of cost savings measures and generation of additional funds for the University resulted in a positive financial status realized for the University during this period. The issue of outstanding fees was effectively resolved with the strengthening and enforcement of policies that assured the timely payment of students’ tuition fees for the teaching they received as well as access to learning resources and IT services. Fully cognizant of the successes scored on the one hand, and the continuing efforts to address issues faced by the University on the other, during this period, I would very much like, on behalf of the NUS Council, to record my sincere congratulations to the Vice Chancellor and Management, Deans and Faculty staff, Directors and Centre staff and Directors and Divisional staff for their unwavering efforts to fulfil their respective responsibilities reflecting their firm commitment to the attainment of the University’s Vision and Mission. No doubt as the National University of Samoa moves forward in its quest to attain its Vision, Mission and Objectives, there will be many times when challenges appear insurmountable causing potential discouragement. However, I firmly believe that with collective commitment through collaboration, consultation, leadership and good governance at all levels, and of course with God’s help, the National University of Samoa will not be moved from its focus to achieve its objectives to: a. b. c. d. be a nationally and internationally recognized institution of research; uphold quality teaching and learning; be actively and strategically engaged with local community and international partners; transform the physical and IT infrastructure to strategically support research, teaching and learning, engagement with community and international partners; and e. be an exemplar of strong leadership and good governance. 18 Ia fa’amanuia le Atua i le Iunivesite Aoao o Samoa Salā Perive Tanuvasa Lene Deputy Chairperson NUS Council 19 Report of the Vice Chancellor & President This was very much a year of coordination and monitoring of preparations in progress for development activities to be realized in the near future. This was also a year of celebration for the University for outstanding milestones reached in the growth of the National University of Samoa during its journey in the last thirty years. Of special significance was the commemoration of the University’s 30th Anniversary in a well-organized and enjoyable one day programme of activities culminating in the well attended the Anniversary Ball. As I reminisced on the University’s journey over the last thirty years, I can certainly look back with gratitude in my heart for the amazing achievements made in its development and look forward to the future with hope for even greater developments for the University. The National University of Samoa continued to achieve significant milestones in the progression of its development in line with the revised NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020. Of note were the: 1. addition of new and revised programmes and courses to the University’s offering portfolio; 2. approval of the revised NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2010 that provides a more focused approach to the University’s future direction; inaugural Vice Chancellor’s awards for the recognition of staff performance 3. ; 4. commencement of construction for the Marine Ocean Campus; 5. approval of the first candidate for the NUS PhD programme; and 6. establishment of the Faculty of Medicine under the NUS. Concerted efforts to actively encourage staff to pursue higher qualification studies by taking up opportunities offered through programmes of the University’s partners continued during this period. 20 Three Graduation Ceremonies were held during this reporting period, two in December 2013 for the Foundation Programme and TVET programmes respectively and one in April 2014. Of special significance in the Foundation Programme Graduation was the conferral of the University’s Chancellorship upon Rev. Professor Dr. Otele Sili Perelini. The third graduation ceremony was held in April 2014 at which the NUS (Hon) Dr. of Economics was conferred upon Samoa’s Prime Minister, making this graduation a very special event. Of special importance during this period was the appointment by Cabinet of Rev. Professor Dr. Otele Sili Perelini as the new Vice Chancellor of the University, to replace afioga Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi who had held the position of Chancellor for the past six years. The National University of Samoa would like to record its appreciation to afioga Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi for his leadership during his appointment as the Chancellor. By the same token, the University welcomes Rev. Professor Dr. Otele Sili Perelini and looks forward to his leadership as its new Chancellor. The decision by Cabinet to integrate the former Oceania University of Medicine into the National University of Samoa as the Faculty of Medicine marked a new and exciting phase in the development of the University. As the Chairperson of the Transitional Committee established to implement the Cabinet Directive within the given transitional period, the first priority of the Transitional Committee was to ensure an arrangement that would not jeopardize the current students’ studies. Having completed this priority, the Transitional Committee then focused on an organizational framework that would guarantee the completion of the integration of the FOM into the NUS systems and processes/procedures by the end of the transition period. Having completed this work, the Transitional Committee held its first meeting with representatives of the five sub committees identified to implement the different aspects of the transition on 11 March. At this meeting, subcommittees were given an overview of the FOM situation as per Cabinet Directive as well as their specific tasks. Despite challenges that may emerge, I am encouraged by the collaborative spirit shown by all involved in this change, and look forward to the successful integration of the Faculty of Medicine into the University by the end of the transitional period in the next financial year. By Cabinet decision as well, afioga A’eau Chri Hazelman was appointed as the new Pro Chancellor of the University and Chairperson of the NUS Council, in June 2014. Administratively, much of this year was given to the coordination of the necessary activities for the finalization of the NUS Upgrade Project in line with the NUS Master Plan. The NUS Upgrade project focuses on infrastructural priorities urgently needed to enhance the provision of efficient and effective services to the University’s increasing student population. As well, a lot of time and effort was devoted to the necessary preparations for 21 the realization of some of the University’s development projects such as the construction of the University’s Marine Ocean Campus, the acquisition of the standby generator, the construction of the Cultural Centre and the construction of the Finance and Physical Facilities Office Building, all of which were scheduled to commence in the last six months of the financial year. In addition, work commenced on the preparation of the NUS Upgrade Project proposal intended for submission to the Cabinet Development Committee in July 2014. Given the level of preparatory activities during this period, it is anticipated that the University will witness the achievements of scheduled development projects in the next reporting period. We look forward to the realization of the work of this period to further strengthen the capability of the National University of Samoa to provide the much needed services for quality teaching by staff and improved learning outcomes for our students. The rest of my report provides details under specific sections on the activities and operation of the National University of Samoa during this financial period. .At this point however, I would like to take this opportunity to record my sincere appreciation to all members of the NUS family – the Deans and staff of respective Faculties, Directors and staff of the two University Centres and Directors and staff of various Divisions of the University - for the continuous support rendered to the development activities of the University in various areas and at different levels during this reporting period. Without question, your collective commitment, dedication and perseverance have contributed immensely to the many notable achievements and successes scored during this financial year. There were of course challenges encountered along the way that could have easily undermined your resolve to advance the development of the University. However, you remained steadfast in your commitment to progress the University’s development towards the attainment of its Vision, Mission and Objectives as documented in the NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 and beyond. With such collective determination, the progression of the University’s development is assured. FA’AMĀLŌ LE GALULUE! FA’AFETAI TELE MO LA OUTOU LAGOLAGO!

Change in Chancellorship appointment NUS Annual Fund (NUSAF) By Cabinet Directive issued in the second quarter of this period, Rev. Prof. Dr. Otele Sili Perelini was appointed as Chancellor of the National University of Samoa, replacing Afioga Tuiatua Tupua Tamasese Efi who had been the NUS Chancellor for more than five (5) years. The NUSAF continued its activities during this period with a Dinner held on 31 October for the purposes of: 30 thanking all who have donated to the NUS Annual Fund pledge at the Fund’s launch in December 2012; providing an update on the funds collected and their utilization, and Providing an opportunity for people to renew or make initial pledges. One of the items prioritized for procurement with funds from the NUSAF activities is a much needed back-up generator for the University to accommodate the frequent power cuts that disrupt the University’s operations particularly student’s lectures. The generator is estimated at SAT$300,000. 12 complete sets of computers were handed over to the Vice Chancellor, NUS by the President of the National University of Samoa Students Association (NUSSA). In his handing over remarks, the NUSSA President identified the Library and Students Counselling Office as the two areas for these computers to be installed with the hope that this assistance will help students have greater access to information they need for their Internal Assessments and other course activities. Research Gender Study This NUSAF project was successfully completed with the installation of the backup generator in February 2014 to service the Mountainside Campus. The old generator with a much lower capacity has been installed by the Gymnasium to service the Gym and Administration Building. A second Generator to adequately service the Oceanside Campus is currently being discussed. The National University of Samoa, through its Centre of Samoan Studies, received funds to conduct research on Gender and Participation in Parliament. Reinforcing the Pacific – Europe Network for Science, Technology and Innovation (PACE – Net Plus) Students Support Services The Faculty of Science (FOS) of the National University of Samoa (NUS) hosted a publicity seminar at the beginning of this month to officially launch the PACE – Net Plus project, of which the FOS is the implementing agency on behalf of the NUS. PACE – net plus is a three-year project funded by the European Commission aiming to strengthen biregional cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation between the Pacific region and Europe. Based on mutual interest between the Pacific and Europe, and increasing geostrategic importance of the Pacific, PACE –net plus will focus its efforts on the three following societal challenges: Bulk Texting Bulk texting is an exciting new initiative, the preparations for the implementation of which commenced during November 2013. The aim of this initiative is to improve information dissemination to the NUS students on changes to class schedules, and other relevant activities. To ensure successful implementation of, and effective results from, this initiative, appropriate redeployment of staff in the Marketing, Printery & Bookshop Section was carried out. Health and demographic change and wellbeing; Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bioeconomy; and Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials. NUSSA Assistance to Facilitate Students’ Greater Access to Computers 31 Vice Chancellor’s Inaugural Awards The National University of Samoa held its inaugural Vice Chancellor’s Awards in December 2013 at its end of year function. The main purpose of this initiative is to recognize as well as promote, high level staff performance in their own disciplines and/or areas of concentration, while at the same time contributing to the overall achievement of the University as an educational institution. The following awards were presented at this inaugural event: Faculty Lecturer of the Year – for each faculty & Centre General Staff of the year – for each Division/Section Division of the Year Faculty of the Year Dean of the Year General Researcher of the Year The Vice Chancellor’s Awards will be an annual event for the National University of Samoa. NUS celebration of its 30 th anniversary The National University of Samoa held a one day celebration in April 2014 to mark its 30th Anniversary. The day started with a Parade of University staff, current students and former students representing classes of different years at the University, from the Fire Services Car Park to the front of the FMFM II Building where a special service of thanksgiving was held. This was followed by the Tausala activity at the University and ended with the Anniversary Ball held at the University’s Fale Samoa in the evening. Establishment of the Faculty of Medicine (FOM) under NUS After several months of deliberations by the Cabinet appointed OUM Working Group and recommendations to Cabinet on the most economically beneficial options for the OUM to move into, a Cabinet Directive issued in January 2014 [FK (14) and April 2014 [FK (14)12 approved the establishment of the former OUM as the FOM under the National University of Samoa. Following the issuance of this decision, a FOM Transitional Committee to be chaired by the Vice Chancellor, was established and given until August 08 to complete the integration of the FOM into the NUS’ systems and processes. This is certainly an exciting outcome for the University’s development. Establishment of the PhD programme at the NUS 32 The establishment of the University’s PhD programme during this reporting period was unquestionably a most noteworthy milestone realized after 30 years of its establishment. The first student to apply to enrol in the NUS’ PhD programme was duly considered and approved during this period. This was deemed to be a most significant step forward in its efforts to upgrade the academic profile of the University, particularly in the area of research. SQA Dialogue – overlapping legislations The Dialogue between the NUS and SQA concerning the overlapping legislations of the two organizations in regards to the matter of quality assurance/audit and accreditation of the NUS was left pending temporarily while the University awaited a response from the SQA with respect to the position of the Senate expressed during the consultation with the SQA. .At this point of the dialogue, the NUS had clearly articulated that it was not necessary for the SQA to quality assure and accredit the University’s academic programmes and courses, as this had been an on-going activity of the University through internal reviews as well as external reviews conducted by teams of international and local experts in relevant disciplines The Council resolved for the Dialogue with the SQA to continue with the aim to promote the quality assurance and accreditation by the SQA of the University’s TVET courses and programmes only. Further dialogue between the NUS and SQA on this issue, is pending. NZ AQA Audit of the NUS While the Dialogue between the NUS and SQA continued, the NUS was finalizing arrangements for the audit of the University’s programmes, systems and processes by the Agency for Quality Assurance for NZ Universities during this reporting period. As well, necessary preparations were made during this reporting period for collating the relevant information identified in the AQA’s Audit Handbook for the audit of the National University of Samoa, scheduled to take place in the next financial period. This is an important undertaking of the University for Quality Assurance and accreditation of its courses and programmes as well as systems and processes. Infrastructural Upgrade As identified in previous reports, the current infrastructure at the NUS, in buildings as well as facilities to effectively provide much needed support services to the students, continued to be inadequate. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that expansion of current facilities would not be economically feasible or physically practical given the amount of current space available in the existing buildings. As per FK (13) Faapitoa, Cabinet approved the submission of one off requests for new capital assets to the Ministry of Finance for consideration by the Cabinet Development Committee and submission to donor partners for funding assistance. In this connection, the University started working through the necessary steps towards the development of a NUS Upgrade project proposal to be submitted to the government (Cabinet Development Committee) for financial support for the construction of major projects, the top priority of which is a new Library. The Upgrade Project Committee worked on planning and assessing the relevant components of the Upgrade Project, in line with the NUS Master Plan, the development of which had been approved by the NUS Council. This Committee also worked on preparing a full proposal for the NUS Upgrade Project during this period, with the aim to finalize the proposal for submission to the Cabinet Development Committee by mid July 2014. 33 The NUS Upgrade Project includes all major infrastructural development projects urgently needed to strategically support the core business of the University, namely Research, Teaching and Learning, international partnerships and community engagement and Leadership and Governance. The Upgrade Project Plan focused on upgrades to the University’s physical infrastructure including as priorities a new Library that is spacious and well resourced, an inclusive Centre for Students’ support services and a more advanced and spacious facility to house the Media and its computer labs. The ancillary complex to house the Division of Financial Services and Physical Facilities Division was at the stage of inviting tenders from builders during this reporting period. Ocean side campus ground breaking ceremony The University again achieved a great milestone on the 10th March, 2014 when its Oceanside Campus ground breaking ceremony took place. The Ocean Campus will house the School of Marine Training and Science laboratories for the conduct of and marine research. The Hunan Company from China commenced the construction of buildings for the Campus directly following the ground breaking once the containers of building materials had been transported to the site from the wharf. Students Enrolment I. Semester 2, 2013 The enrolment of students for Semester 2, 2013 was carried out over a period of three days Students who did not enrol during this period were allowed to enrol late on 07 July with the payment of a late enrolment fee. Although classes commenced on 15 July, students were given until 26 July to change their courses if they so wished. II. Semester 1,2014 Pre- Enrolment BRIEFING The Student Administration and Students Counselling Services sections of the Registry Division kick started the academic year with a two- day pre-enrolment briefing specifically designed to provide preliminary information to all students and parents who were interested in finding out the necessary and required procedures to enrolment. Matters discussed included: 34 Enrolment procedures and essential documentation to bring on arrival to the initial enrolment day starting from the 27th January to the 31st of January 2014; Student fees and deadline priorities; Sessions with faculties to provide information on courses & programmes offered by each faculty and for students to ask questions they may have on course offerings; Information contained in the University Calendar, in particular statutes, regulations and policies related to students conduct, misconduct and consequences of such misconduct.

This was a very busy week for the staff of the Student Administration Section and Division of Financial Services as well as staff of all Faculties and the Centre of Samoan Studies. New and continuing students went through the enrolment process, a crucial part of which is the academic counselling provided by the Deans and lecturers of respective faculties and Director and lecturers of the Centre for Samoan Studies, to assist students in determining the courses and programmes to enrol in. Student Orientation Enrolment was followed by a week of Orientation whereby students had the first opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Campus physical layout and meet with the Deans and staff of faculties in which they have enrolled and provided information on the faculty courses, programmes, lectures, tutorials and expectations of them as students. A very important part of orientation is conducted by the staff of the Student Administration section and Student Counsellor on the deadline for the full payment of tuition fees and consequences for failure to meet the deadline as well as the University rules and regulations on students conduct. Parents who came with their sons/daughters to the Orientation were welcomed and invited to a meeting with the Vice Chancellor.

Visiting Artist Programme Under the Visiting Artist Programme with Creative New Zealand, the Faculty of Education Visual Arts department and its students were honoured with the public lecture given by renowned artists Shigeyuki Kihara and Leuli Esharghi. As well, during this reporting period, Siapo Artist Imakulata Taua conducted a Siapo workshop for the Visual Arts Education major students of the Faculty of Education. The workshop was open to all staff and students and highly supported by the Art Agency, the Visual Art Program and the Samoa Arts Council. Caribbean – Pacific Mobility Scheme (CARPIMS) As mentioned in earlier reports, the NUS is a full partner in the CARPIMS Consortium, established under the International Mobility Programmes funded by the EACEA of the European Commission. Samoa, through the NUS, has benefited from this programme by way of sponsorship for a number of the NUS staff presently pursuing higher degree studies including PhD in Caribbean – Pacific Universities. The third cohort applications were opened late last year and closed on the 31st of March 2014. The application list from Samoa had around nine applicants inclusive of both NUS Staff and members of the general public. Partnerships with International Universities During this period, nominations of staff for scholarships to pursue higher qualifications to commence in academic year 2014 at Otago University and the Victoria University of Wellington were finalized. Two scholarships are offered every two years by Otago University for NUS staff to pursue Masters level degrees. The Victoria University of Wellington offers one scholarship for Master level studies and one for PhD studies. These scholarships are offered as part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the National University of Samoa and each of these two institutions. These opportunities actively support the University’s strategy to promote the professional development of its staff, one of the strategies to achieve its objective for quality teaching and creative learning. 36 During this financial year, seven new MOUs were signed between the NUS and international and local institutions including the Peace Corps Samoa, PIURN, Arizona State University USA, and the AQA of NZ Universities.

Although the percentage is the same as that of the last financial year 2012-2013, the fact remained that the accumulated losses were consistently reduced each financial year, as evident this year. It is the University’s responsibility to see that these accumulated losses are reduced to zero. It would behoove the NUS to achieve zero accumulated losses as quickly as possible thus freeing up funds for other development activities as well as assuring a secure financial position in the future. The losses at one stage reached its highest of over ST$ 9 million. The draft accounts presented for FY 2013/2014 showed accumulated losses at ST$ 5 million, a reduction by ST$ 4 million. If this rate of reduction continues, the NUS should be cleared of these accumulated losses by 2019/2020. A Net Operation Surplus of ST$719,382 was realized. Despite the recorded 5% decrease in the government grant, the stable increase in fees, revenue generating activities of the University and the tight controls over operational spending and overhead costs have together contributed to this surplus. There were no major unplanned or unanticipated costs incurred during this financial year.

The administrative staffs have been disseminated into the already existing sections of the institute where the work previously assigned under OUM currently takes place. This merge will benefit the university in the long run with increasing demand and improved efforts of meeting human resource demands to support the daily operations of NUS.

As well, some of the activities of the near completed NUS Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 were implemented in the second half of this reporting period. Objectives: The implementation of major objectives of the NUS Corporate Plan 2012 – 2014 are documented below. 1. Assure access to quality academic, technical/vocational programmes & Samoan studies A number of new and revised programmes were approved during this period. Of note were: Faculty of Applied Science Certificate of Attainment: Trades & Health Preparatory Year Oloamanu Centre for Professional Studies & Continuing Education (OCPDC) Human Resource Management Certificate IV, OCPDC/FOA/FOBE Postgraduate Certificate in Executive Leadership Revised Bachelor of Nursing Programme Revised Graduate Diploma in Education Six reinstated courses in the FOS Bridging Quality Assurance through External reviews - the external review of the Faculty of Arts was completed during this period. The implementation of recommendations emanating from the external reviews of the Faculty of Science, Media & Journalism programmes, the Hospitality/Tourism/Office Management programmes and eight Engineering programmes that were completed in the last reporting period, started during this period; Lecturer/Course evaluations by students for this period were undertaken during this period. However, the analysis of the data collected and report on findings were yet to be completed Student/staff exchanges through MOUs continued; Seminars by the Centre of Samoan Studies and Faculties that engaged the community, continued on a monthly basis during this reporting period. 44 1. Sustain quality of teaching and training for improved quality of students’ learning outcomes The offering of the Certificate in Adult Teaching (CAT) continued, particularly in light of the requirement that all staff without a teaching qualification from a recognized institution must take the CAT. To ensure that the participation of relevant lecturers in this programme was not hindered by fees, the CAT programme was offered to university staff with no formal teaching qualifications free of charge starting this reporting period. This strategy aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning having a positive impact on the student’s performance and success rate. The inaugural Vice Chancellor’s Awards ceremony to accord due recognition to outstanding staff performance in teaching and research took place in December 2013. This will be an annual event for the University. 2. Have high calibre staff During the July 2013- June 2014 period a total of 49 NUS staff both at the administrative and academic levels partook in professional development leave (PDL). During this period, Staff on professional development leave included 6 TVET staff to pursue Bachelor’s degrees, 17 academic staff to take up studies for Masters and PhD qualifications and one comparable staff to study for her Master’s degree. 3.

Strengthen strategic partnerships – local, regional and international community 45 During this reporting period, eight MOUs were signed by the NUS with the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Japan, Apidae Development Innovations Australia, Arizona State University USA, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, PIURN establishing the Pacific Islands Universities Research Network, two with Peace Corps Samoa and the Academic Quality Agency for NZ Universities. 6. National and global recognition as Centre of Excellence in Samoan studies During this reporting period, the focus of the Centre for Samoan Studies was on the development and upgrading of courses in its Postgraduate Diploma and Master of Development Studies programmes. It continued to implement its Seminar Series on topics relevant to Samoan studies to which local and international experts in these topics were invited as Guest Speakers. During this period, the Centre of Samoan Studies started preparations for an external review of its programmes and courses scheduled for the 2014/2015 financial year. This will provide the opportunity for the Centre’s programmes and courses to be benchmarked internationally. 7. NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 (revised) The first two-yearly review of the NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 which commenced in the last reporting period was completed during this period. Significant revisions were made to the Strategic Plan as a result of the review. The revised NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 was approved by the NUS Council at its meeting in October 2013. 8. NUS Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 The NUS Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 which was work in progress during this period, identifies the short to medium term strategies and activities of the NUS Strategic Plan 2020 – 2020 for implementation. The major changes made to the revised NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 that would be reflected in the Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 include: 5 Pillars on which the University is grounded reflect and support the purpose of the University as articulated in its Vision, Mission, Objectives, Values and Mandates: Pillar 1 Pillar 2 Pillar 3 Pillar 4 Pillar 5 Research Teaching and Learning International Partnerships & Community Engagement Resources & Infrastructure Leadership & Governance 5 major objectives each one of which is directly associated with each of the five Pillars are: For the University: 1. To be recognized nationally and internationally as the premiere research institute in Samoa 2. to actively upgrade and maintain quality and creativity in teaching and learning 3. to foster strong international partnerships and effective community engagement 46 4. to transform the University’s physical and IT infrastructure to strategically support research, teaching and learning, community engagement and international partnerships and leadership and governance 5. to ensure adherence to principles and practices of successful leadership and good governance in the administration of the University at all levels Implementation Plan that highlights the above objectives with revised strategies, activities, key performance indicators and timeline 47 Outlook for the Next Year The National University of Samoa has a very positive outlook for the next year and looks forward to the completion of some of its infrastructural projects, continuation of the development of relevant academic and TVET programmes, stepping up its efforts in generating additional funds for the University and following up on its Upgrade Project proposal to the CDC Academic Developments: New & Existing Programmes and Courses: New programmes will continue to be developed and existing programmes upgraded as appropriate with the aim to ensure relevance and usefulness to the human resource needs of the country; Integration under a Unified Faculty System: Evaluation of the integration of all NUS programmes under a unified Faculty system will commence in the next year and we look forward to the outcome of the Evaluation to determine whether or not the integration initiative was effective in upgrading the quality of the University’s service delivery. External review of Centre for Samoan Studies (CSS) To ensure quality assurance of its courses and programmes, each Faculty and Centre undergoes a review by a team of international and local experts every five years. In the next year, the external review of the Centre for Samoan Studies programmes and processes will be carried out by a team of international and local experts in this field. The review will entail the following process: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Preparation – identification and coordination of the Review Team and dates of review, preparation of required information from the CSS for the review The actual review which involves not only reviewing documented information but also interviews with selected staff and also students Report by the External Review Team which contains recommendations Review of External Review Team’s report by the CSS and its responses to issues that may have been raised in the Review Team’s report Review of Review Team’s report and CSS’ responses by the NUS Review Team which in turn submits its report to the Council Upon acceptance by the Council of the NUS Review Team’s report, implementation of, and follow up on, the recommendations will take place. 48 Faculty of Medicine (FOM) under the NUS The integration of the Faculty of Medicine under the NUS is certainly a milestone in the University’s development. We look forward to the teaching of the new curriculum produced for the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) under the NUS in the next year. Professional Development of NUS staff In line with its objective for quality teaching and creative learning, the University has set target years for staff to complete higher degrees. It is close to achieving targets set for Masters level qualifications. In the next year, the University will focus on Professional Development Leave to pursue PhD qualifications, utilizing opportunities offered through MOUs with international partners. The NUS also looks forward to the return of more of its staff who have successfully completed their PDL studies. Audit of the NUS by the NZ AQA The NZ Agency for Quality Assurance of NZ Universities is scheduled to conduct an audit of the NUS’ systems, procedures and processes in the next year. This audit is of enormous importance to the whole of the NUS given that is the first time the University will be audited by an international quality assurance body. Most importantly, it will be the first time the University’s systems, procedures and processes will be benchmarked against international standards. The NUS looks forward to the outcome of the NZ AQA audit, in terms of strengths that may be further progressed and weaknesses that will need to be addressed to improve its systems and processes that would ensure quality teaching and learning as well as learning outcomes for its students. Samoa Conference III The NUS will be hosting the Samoa Conference III in the last week of August, 2014. The Organising Committee for the Conference is making good progress with the planning of activities to raise sufficient funds for the Conference, coordination of registration and other necessary arrangements. A number of abstracts have been received and a lot of interest has been shown by people from international institutions who want to participate in the Conference. A major setback for the planning of the Samoa Conference III is its closeness to the International United Nations Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Conference scheduled to take place in the first week of September, the week following the Samoa Conference III. However, there are also benefits realised from this situation such as linking the theme of the Samoa Conference III. The NUS will be hosting the Samoa Conference III in the last week of August 2014. The Organizing Committee for the Conference is making good progress with the planning of activities to raise sufficient funds for the Conference, coordination of registration and other necessary arrangements. A number of abstracts have been received and a lot of interest has been shown by people from international institutions who want to participate in the Conference. The number of presentations at the Conference will not be confirmed until close to the Conference. A major setback for the planning of the Samoa Conference III is its closeness to the International United Nations Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Conference scheduled to take place in the first week of September, the week following the Samoa Conference III. However, there are also benefits realised from this situation such as linking the theme of the Samoa Conference III Conference to the SIDS Conference focus and attracting a number of international participants who will also participate in the SIDS Conference. 49 Administration & Management Developments: Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 The NUS Corporate Plan 2015 – 2017 is targeting submission to Cabinet and other appropriate authorities in the second quarter of the next financial year. NUS Annual Fund The NUS Annual Fund launched in the second quarter of the last reporting period has proved to be a successful initiative of the University in its continuous efforts to create strategic and creative ways to generate additional funds for its small to medium sized priority development projects such as the procurement of the standby generator that was installed during this reporting period. In the next year, promotional and fundraising activities will continue to generate more funds for the NUS Annual Fund. Student Administration There has been a delay in the upgrade of the Artena system scheduled for this reporting period to accommodate the urgent need to upgrade the systems, processes and software programmes used in student administration, particularly in the area of statistical information production. It is therefore expected that the Artena system upgrade will take place in the next year with further training of relevant staff to upgrade their skills in this system with the aim to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of services provided to students, parents and teaching staff. Online enrolment is an initiative targeted for next year with the aim to facilitate enrolment off campus, expedite on campus enrolment with less congestion and reduce logistics costs involved. Another exciting initiative scheduled to be activated in the next year will be the production of a Students Handbook aiming to provide information contained in the University Calendar in a user friendly language for students and parents. Personnel Administration During this reporting period, most of the personnel data had been entered on to the Attaché, a software programme used by the Division of Finance, but has the capability for Personnel information processing. In the next year, we look forward to the timely production of personnel statistics for planning purposes. Delays were experienced with the production of the Manual of Procedures intended for staff to facilitate their understanding on the implementation of personnel policies. A draft of the Manual of Procedures was completed and reviewed through consultations at different levels. The Manual is expected to be finalized for launching in the next year. Financial controls Prudent financial management will continue in the next year. This would be greatly facilitated with the internal Auditor’s on going assessment of financial procedures practices and advice on areas that need stricter financial controls particularly those cited in the external Auditor’s report. Infrastructural Developments: 50 NUS Campus Master Plan The development of the NUS Campus Master Plan is a critically important component of the University’s infrastructural development strategy identified in the NUS Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020, to address the urgent need for upgrading the University’s facilities to meet the teaching and learning needs of staff and students. Still work in progress during this period, it is expected that the NUS Master Plan will be completed in the next year. NUS Ocean Marine Campus The University looks forward to the completion of the construction of the Campus buildings in the next year. During this reporting period however, it is still awaiting word from the Ministry of Finance’s AID Division on regarding for funding of the equipment required to equip the Campus buildings for Maritime training that had been approved by the CDC. Hopefully in the next year, the University will receive confirmation of a donor to fund this equipment. Without the equipment, the conduct of Maritime training intended to be provided at this Campus will not be realized. Construction of Cultural Centre for Samoan Studies In line with the University’s mandate that it be the Centre for Samoan studies (CSS), the construction of the Cultural Centre is an important project for the University. The project will be constructed in phases as adequate funds permit. Phase 1 was the construction of the Fale Samoa that was officially opened in November 2011. Phase 2 would be the erection of the CSS Administration Building to be funded by the University itself from savings in previous years plus additional funds it generates. Given the unexpected delays in the completion of the building designs and other necessary processes, the University looks forward to the completion of this phase of the project in the next year. Finance/Physical Facilities Complex A Financial Services and Physical Facilities Office Building is planned to be constructed in the last quarter of this Financial Year. This building will house the Divisions of Financial Services and Physical Facilities at the start. And given the availability of funds in the future, this building will be extended to house the Registry Division. NUS Upgrade Project As mentioned earlier, the proposal on the NUS Upgrade Project will be completed for submission to the Cabinet Development Committee for consideration and approval in the next year. A new library is the highest priority for the University at this time, given the steady increase in its student population, and necessarily a major priority development project of the University in the NUS Upgrade project. The University looks forward to government’s approval and financial support for the construction of a much needed new University Library. 51 Future Risks and Uncertainties Infrastructural Development Projects It is expected that the NUS Campus Plan will be completed in the next year with the preparation of the NUS Upgrade Project proposal to be submitted to the CDC. Although Cabinet has approved government support to the University’s infrastructural developments as per FK (13) Faapitoa 25, there is a high level of uncertainty as to the CDC’s consideration of the NUS Upgrade Project proposal. Should the CDC approve only certain priority projects for funding, the achievement of the University’s objectives as identified in its revised Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020 would be seriously jeopardized such that it would not be able to satisfy its mandated functions and responsibilities for the provision of quality tertiary education and learning in Samoa. The University’s dependence on donor assistance for its priority major infrastructural development projects runs the risk of waiting for long periods of time. This waiting would in turn involve delays in the implementation of project phases creating uncertainty with regards to the achievement of the University’s objectives as documented in its Strategic Plan 2010 -2020. Professional development targets In pursuit of its objective to recruit and retain high calibre academic staff, the University had set target dates for all teaching staff to upgrade their qualifications: 1. 2015 - All staff teaching in academic programmes must have at least a Masters degree. 2. 2018 – All staff teaching in TVET programmes will have at least a Bachelor’s degree level. In this reporting period, the percentage of academic/teaching staff with a Master’s degree increased slightly from last year, and would appear to meet the target date set. In contrast, the percentage of staff teaching in TVET programmes with first degrees has remained about the same. Aiming to meet the targets set, the University will continue to actively encourage staff to take professional development leave to upgrade their qualifications. Despite this concerted focus however, the professional development targets may not be realized due to the continual recruitment of academic staff with qualifications below the Masters and TVET staff with qualifications below first degree levels urgently needed to replace staff who leave and limited local pool of potential applicants for NUS advertised lecturer positions requiring a Masters or higher qualifications. Integration of the Faculty of Medicine under the NUS The integration of the Faculty of Medicine under the NUS during this reporting period is without question a milestone in the University’s development. The government has guaranteed its financial support to Faculty of Medicine until 2017. There is uncertainty however, as to the continuation of government’s support after 2017. Natural Disasters 52 A real sense of disquiet remains as to the frequency and level of natural disaster occurrences in the future, creating a high level of uncertainty about the degree of the University’s preparedness and ability to mitigate the impact of such occurrences. Student Population The University’s student population remains high in relation to its limited financial and human resources to afford needed staff and infrastructural facilities to adequately provide quality teaching and learning and ensure improved learning outcomes for all students. The highest number of students enrolled in any one programme each year are in the Foundation programme for Foundation Certificates in Arts, Education, Commerce, Science and General studies. Given the fact that students who enrol in the Foundation Programme are those who pass the Samoa School Leaving Certificate (SSLC), there is uncertainty as to the number of students who will be enrolled in the Foundation programme each year in relation to the total student population. Additionally, the number of students enrolled in TVET programmes and those who are continuing their studies at the University are increase each year contributing to the consistently large student population. Outcome of Dialogue with SQA Given the lengthy period of time to date of this dialogue without any indication of a resolution, there is uncertainty as to the position of the SQA on this matter. This means that the NUS runs the risk of its academic programmes and courses accredited by the SQA, a situation to which the University strongly objects. The NUS does however, supports having the SQA accredit its TVET programmes and courses 53 Organizational Structure 54 UNIVERSITY FACULTIES & CENTRES 55 Audit Report 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 MĀLŌ O SĀMOA ‘Ōfisa o le Minisitā o Ā’oga, Ta’aloga ma Aganu’u Pusa Meli 1869 Apia, Samoa Telefoni (685) 22958 / 22971 Fax: (685) 22955 31 Oketopa 2014 Afioga i le Fofoga Fetalai Fono Aoao FaitūlāfonoaSamoa MULINU’U Lau Afioga i le Fofoga Fetalai, E tusa ai ma aiaiga o le Vāega 34 (1) o le Tūlāfono o le Iunivesitē Aoao o Sāmoa, ou te fiafia e tu’uina atu le Līpoti Fa’aletausaga 2013 – 2014 a le Iunivesitē Aoao o Sāmoa, mo le tau’a’aoina i le fonotaga ‘olo’o lumana’i ai a le Fono Aoao Faitūlāfono.
