Introduction:
This Annual Report is prepared according to the Public Bodies (Performance and
Accountability) Regulations and in line with the reporting guidelines disseminated
by the State Owned Enterprises Monitoring Division of the Ministry of Finance.
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.

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.

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. Professor Dr. Otele Sili Perelini, as
per Cabinet appointment.
On behalf of the Council, I would like to note my deep appreciation to the Vice Chancellor
and President, Prof. Fui Le’apai Tu’ua Īlaoa Asofou So’o, for the regular updates provided
for the information of Council on the implementation of the Corporate objectives as well as
all other activities of the University, through his reports to the meetings of the Council and
Executive Committee of Council during this reporting period.
The remainder of this report documents information on the composition and meetings of the
NUS Council and Executive Committee of Council. As well, it provides information on the
progress made with Corporate Objectives which clearly reflects the University’s commitment
to achieving its Vision, Mission and Objectives as stated in its Strategic Plan 2010 – 2020
and beyond.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The National University of Samoa in collaboration
with the WHO Regional Office for the Pacific hosted
a four day online database training workshop on the
use of the Health Inter Network Access to Research
Initiative (HINARI). This is the first time such
training has been conducted in Samoa, and
attended by selected representatives from Health
agencies and important stakeholders such as the
Ministry of Health, National Health Services.
University of the South Pacific, SPREP, Scientific
Research Organization of Samoa, MESC, Nelson
Memorial Library and National University of Samoa.
The HINARI is owned and operated by the WHO,
and contains access to a series of important health
and medical databases from some of the major
academic publishers in the world.
The Faculty of Science hosted The UNESCO
Workshop which was held on 1-5 July. . The event
was hosted in collaboration with the Ministry of
Education Sports and Culture (MESC).
The workshops addressed and identified national
needs in the capacity building of teachers especially
in their subject content knowledge in Science,
Mathematics and Computing.
The shortage of teachers in Science and Maths in
Colleges around the country was described in a
Faculty of Science discussion paper last year - as a
“national crisis” supported by statistics that reveal
an unquestionably grim picture. This training is a
welcome short term solution towards addressing
this national crisis. All 40 colleges around the
country that offer science and maths subjects at
Year 13 level (including mission and private
schools) were invited to send one teacher
representative to each of the 6 subject workshops
being organized. The facilitators consist of
professors, lecturers and experts from the Faculty
of Science in these subject areas.
The workshops concluded with the launching of the
Samoa Association of Science Educators (SASE)
The aim of SASE is to provide a professional body
for local experts and teachers in the areas of

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.

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.

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.
Consultations with Samoa Tourism Authority (STA)
The Dean of the Faculty of Business & Entrepreneurship and the Head of the School Tourism and
Hospitality held a consultation meeting on the 28th January 2014 with the Samoa Tourism Authority
Consultant, Dr. Semisi Taumoepeau of the NZ Tourism Research Institute, regarding the progress of
the STA support program for Workforce Development. This program supports funding for student and
staff development as well as promoting/ improving quality of courses in tourism and hospitality. Dr

35
The Committee of the Vice Chancellor met at the Elisa Hotel at Sogi on the 21st February, 2014 to
discuss and provide strategic input into the Vice Chancellor’s Appraisal template in line with the revised
Strategic Plan 2010-2020 of the University. The retreat paved the road for improving and suggesting
monitoring and evaluation methods to assess the continuing strategic developments and achievements
made by the Management and staff.
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

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.
Samoana High School choir visits NUS
The Samoana High School Choir from American Samoa visited the National University of Samoa on 19
March to showcase its fine and talented young students as well as promote the choir’s new CD. The
NUS staff and students joined the students and teachers of the Samoan High School at the NUS Fale
Samoa where the High School performed some of their great soundtracks. Such activities continue to
strengthen the development and relationship between institutions as well as bridging better inter- island
commitment and networks. The visit has also aided in developing better ties between the NUS Faculty
of Education Music department and the Samoana High School’s music section.

Operating Performance and Results
Financial
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
Financial Gains were made during this period as noted below:

Accumulated losses were further reduced by 11%, in this financial period. 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 11 % increase in the Staff population within this reporting period was the result of the integration of
former Oceania University of Medicine staff into the National University of Samoa as the Faculty of
Medicine. 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.

PROGRESS WITH CORPORATE PLAN
The implementation of activities in the NUS Corporate Plan 2012 – 2014 continued during this period.
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. Champion excellence in strategic & applied research as a core business of the NUS

The University continued to provide as best as it can within its limited resources, a supportive
and enabling teaching and learning environment particularly in the provision of more computers
to the library and computer laboratories to facilitate teaching and enabling student’s greater
access to computers to facilitate their studies.
5. 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

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.

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.

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
