The Education Commission was established in 2010 to provide an advisory role for the delivery of the flagship Oceania Sport Education Programme (OSEP) which has seen growing success. 

The membership recruitment is drawn from stakeholders involved in the establishment of the programme based on their technical expertise which supports OSEP in capacity building efforts. The Commission meets twice a year. 

The purpose of the ONOC Education Commission is to provide advice and strategic direction to the ONOC Executive on all sport training and education matters within the Oceania region. 

The Commission is endorsed and has delegated responsibilities by the ONOC Executive according to Section 14 of the ONOC Articles of Association.

The Commission advises on the implementation of the IOC’s education initiatives and advocates for quality physical education and the integration of values in school curricular and for suitable and age appropriate sports in and out of school settings. The latter is critical for the Oceania region’s Pacific island countries as it carries the highest proportion of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and the obvious point of change target group remains children and young people. 

It also advises on the optimisation of strategic partnerships with recognised organisations working in the field of education, sources new training and funding partners, approves and reviews annual plans and budgets of ONOC sport training and education, and monitors and evaluates capacity building matters according to the ONOC Strategic Plan. 

The Commission also provides critical guidance as it monitors Governance standards for sport organisations in Oceania, assists with compliance to national and regional sport accreditation, and supports alignment to regional and international sport qualifications.
