The Education Department has announced the theme for the 2024 academic year “Transform Teaching and Learning to achieve Quality Education for All”. It is focused on the National Education Plan 2020-2029 Focus Area #5 which states that in order for quality education to be achieved the curriculum to be used must be current and appropriate, sufficient textbooks must be produced, procured and distributed to all schools in order to achieve the one textbook per child policy; a sustainable national examination and assessment system has been established for use in all schools and schools will be able to access teaching and learning materials electronically utilizing appropriate technology. It also considers the PNG Education Transformation Vision 2075 which should develop a system of education that produces quality graduates who can adapt to the changing world. Changes in technology, improvements in social and economic wellbeing and the use of resources from the physical environments will impose on societies to adapt. Improvements in the relevance, quality, and access to education lie at the core of the vision for the future. This is a vision that senses the future as we operate in the present. Hence, the PNG ETV 2075 is conceived to formulate a philosophy of education that galvanises the PNG education system to focus on the future of education based on current realities and trends. Dr. Kombra is calling on all continuing students, teachers and the good parents and guardians to observe the term dates especially the dates for the start of the 2024 school year. “I thank all our students, teachers, head teachers, principals and managers for their hard work and commitment in 2023 and wish them and their families a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2024.”
