The Vanuatu Education and Training Sector Strategy (VETSS) 2020-2030 was developed to align with and respond to the strategic direction and intent of the National Sustainable Development Plan 2016 to 2030. The objective of this plan is to improve education for all in an efficient and effective way.

The VETSS provides the direction and priorities, taking into account the different key policy areas such as teacher quality, school subsidies, inclusive education, plurilingualism, infrastructure, curriculum, minimum standards, evidence-based policies, management systems, monitoring and evaluation, rationalization of resources, devolution, governance, partnerships and communication.

It also provides direction for various Directorates and Work Units to focus their efforts to ensure that all commit to delivering on the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
