Named Samoa Education Sector COVID 19 Response Plan (SECRP), the overall goal of the plan is to ensure successful continuity of education for all children both now and in the future, and its three specific goals are:

1. Schools remain safe both from a physical and psychosocial point of view
2. All students, including those in vulnerable situations due to, for example, disability, remoteness or financial hardship, have access to continuing educational opportunities
3. The education system is more resilient to future disruptions.
