Accessing quality education is an ongoing challenge for parents in PNG. Education needs to be distributed well throughout the country so that PNG citizens can become more educated leaders and develop the country into a more prosperous nation. As social workers, it is important to improve education services in rural areas, strengthen vocational training to support job skills, and secure adequate funding to manage growing student enrollment. The vision is for integral human development through an affordable education system that prepares literate and skilled citizens while ensuring traditional and Christian values are appreciated.
