In the 1980s, up to year 12 (matriculation) there were:
• 2600 community schools - grades 1 to 6
• 120 provincial high schools - grades 7 to 10
• 5 national high schools - the only institutions
offering full-time grades 11 and 12
• the College of Distance Education - grades 7 to 10
• the Institute of Distance and Continuing
Education (matriculation studies)
• Limited private education provision - pre-

• University of Goroka in Goroka
• University of PNG in Port Moresby
• University of Natural Resources and
Environment in Vudal with associated
campuses in Popondetta, Kavieng and

• University of Technology (Unitech) in Lae.

6. Education
• Education are to form part of a long-term
human development strategy for building
human capital, achieving greater gender
equity, and an improved quality of life.

7. PNG’s
Education
• It is most commonly known that
education is limited within the
rural areas of Papua New
Guinea, due to less
infrastructure developments
• The dilemma is that the
education system is been
expected to provide a relevant
education for many different
sections of society
• In the same way our current
universities can only select a
handful of so many applicants

8. • In addition it must increase
the salary of teachers. PNG
still lack teachers in all
schools and the major reason
is unsatisfactory salary.
• Education is a right for all
children of Papua New
Guinea and our Government
must continue to implement
reform to ensure our children
can attend school regardless
of their economic situation
In Future

9. Conclusion
• Accessing quality education is an ongoing
challenge for parents in PNG. By partnering with
communities we empower school leaders,
teachers and children to shape their own future
• Parents must also contribute to the education of
their children by assisting teachers with
Discipline.
• It is the conscious act of sharing responsibilities
with teachers for the development of the
younger generation in order that they become a
vibrant force in our nation’s development.

10. Opinion
• improving delivery of education services in
rural and remote areas; strengthening the
vocational education and training sector to
support appropriate courses and to make
better use of partnerships with the private
sector and community agencies; and securing
adequate government budget support for the
reform to manage the enrolment growth.

11. • Our vision is integral human development
achieved through an affordable education
system that appreciates Christian and
traditional values, and that prepares literate,
skilled and healthy citizens by concentrating
on the growth and development of each
individual’s personal viability and character
formation, while ensuring all can contribute to
the peace and prosperity of the nation.
