Teaching to Transform, Not Just Earn

We need teachers who go out there not just to earn a salary, but to transform lives," says Australia Awards alumnus Fox Mark.

A lecturer at Solomon Islands National University (SINU)—Fox Mark is transforming the way future teachers are trained.

Supported by Australia, the leadership skills short training Fox gained, is equipping the future generation with not just knowledge, but also empathy, resilience and purpose. 

From flexible teaching methods to stronger staff collaboration, Fox is using what he learned to lead with compassion and drive change.

This is how Australia’s support is building stronger leaders and improve education outcomes in Solomon Islands—one classroom at a time.
