Summary
 

The Papua New Guinea Journal of Education is deemed interesting to SIL workers in Papua New Guinea because of its analysis of that country's educational situation. Notes articles by

 
  • Arden Sanders (SIL)
  • David Boorer (UPNG), and
  • Allan Sail (former Planning Advisor to NDOE).
 

Sanders compares cultural learning styles of the Kamasu (typical of Papua New Guinea rural settings) with expectations placed on children in formal schools.

 

Boorer describes the disparity between the role of teachers as perceived by governments of developing nations, and their role as perceived by the teachers themselves.

 

Sail skeptically views the prospects of Universal Primary education by 1999, and recommends further monitoring of application procedures and analysis.
