The Federated States of Micronesia believes that learning programs and teaching approaches are grounded in indigenous knowledge, context, values and skills will increase the engagement of young people in learning, improve outcomes and build identity and resilience.

This overall building of identity, empowerment and resilience of young people is identified as central to promoting the wellbeing of young people and their contribution to the development and future of the country.

The country’s partnership compact, developed by the government and partners, aims at mainstreaming, strengthening and resourcing indigenous knowledge and its learning and teaching approaches in curriculum delivery.
