Fiji, March 25 -- Pasifika Communities University (PCU) is aiming to reshape higher education in the Pacific over the next decade, focusing on culture, identity, and community, says Dean of Strategic Visioning Aisake Casimira.

In an interview with PACNEWS, Casimira said PCU will place Pacific knowledge alongside global frameworks, rather than beneath them.

"Intellectual growth at PCU is always inseparable from cultural grounding, spiritual awareness, and community responsibility. Traditional education often isolates knowledge from the people, land, and traditions they belong. That balance is essential. Intellectual growth without identity can create disconnection. But when learning is rooted in who we are, it becomes transformative."
