PRELUDE
Quality Early Child Education is an essential pathway for a child to excel with much
competence. The teaching methodologies used by trained teachers and the learning
environment where a child is placed creates value.
Learning starts from the day we are born and continues throughout our lives. It is recognized
that the early years of life are the most important for learning and where future foundations
are laid for growth and development which leads into childhood, the teenage years and
ultimately into adulthood.
The term ‘the early years’ is used in slightly different ways:
To some it means the years from birth to eight years; to others it means the years before
school entry; while others focus mainly on the first three years of life. All these periods are
critical in every child’s life, and it is important children are provided with meaningful
opportunities to learn, develop and engage in positive interactions with their families and
others.
Early childhood education and care is more than children’s preparation for primary school; it
acknowledges that families are central to the lives of children, and requires a holistic approach
for Educators to work in partnership with families to provide the support they need to meet
each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development and needs in order to build
a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing.
Early Childhood Education (ECE) in PNG has never been a part of the formal education system
and it has been the responsibility of the Department for Community Development and Religion
(DfCDR) but this Department has little capacity to advance ECE further technically.
The Department of Education (DoE) has been supporting the DfCDR in the areas of teacher
education, curriculum development and developing a policy document to govern the
establishment of early childhood centers.
NEC Decision No 232/2020 on Early Childhood Education and NEC Decision No 347/2020
National Education Plan 2020-2029 noted the importance of early childhood development and
approved Districts and Churches to partner in delivering Early Childhood Sector.
NEC also approved pre-school to be financed under a Public Private Church Community
Partnership.
I am proud to present this submission to Hon. Dawa Lucas Dekena, MP Gumine and Minister
for Education as indicated in the newspaper caption attached.
Early Childhood Implementations requires cooperation from community, Local Government,
NGOs, development partners and that the Bible, Word of God, Phonics and Playschool are keys
for development of Early Childhood learning hence, the proposed center at Moguma;
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT CENTER - MECEDC will ensure to
implement this for the People of Edukane, ward4 Waiye LLG

Monguma early childhood education and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com
Accordingly, the NEP 2019-2029 on Early Childhood Education (ECE), Focus Area 1, will
gradually become the responsibility of the DoE over the plan period. Under the current 1-6-6
structure, the Department will take care of the 6 years old and will gradually embrace early
childhood education which will see the enrolment of 4 and 5 year olds in the early stages prior
to formal schooling sometimes during the plan period. The Importance to promote early
childhood learning has challenged the Education department. It is expected that during the
plan period a PNG model for ECE will be developed with contributions from all parts of society.
There are still important decisions to be made in regard to the financing of ECE that will be
determined by the NEC early in the plan period.
An ECE unit will be established within the Department following a restructuring and the
Department will increasingly take the lead in technical areas where they have a comparative
advantage. Ultimately, the Department will take responsibility for all aspects of Early
Childhood in later stages of the plan.
The Moguma Early Childhood Education & Development Center is a infrastructure
development program 2024 – 2027 targets where ECD (Early Childhood Development)
Learning system is introduced with selective projects presented to achieve overall objective of
this submission.
This Document is presented for the benefit of Waiye LLG where the twelve (12) ward areas
shall participate in implementing early Childhood Education and Development effective 2025
and as such the project MECEDC is an initiative of the Endukakane People to achieve quality
education where the MECEDC will host in-service for trainers of ECE throughout Waiye LLG
where ECE will replace the Elementary schools.

PROJECT ABSTRACT
The Mongume Early Childhood Education & Development Center (MECEC) is a SBE structured
capturing the preparatory sector under the 1-6-6 Structure. The School was first established in 2008 for
the purpose of serving the needs for the Monguma Community to establish a preparatory school for ward4
comprising of the Endukakane , and the larger community of Monguma people. Based on growing needs
of community, the DECEDC is seeking a grant to construct a Nursery, Kindergarten and Preparatory
grades so as to offer educational services to all the children within ward1 communities - regardless of
their religions (including vulnerable children i.e. orphans, poor and all others in need) in Monguma , and
surrounding villages of wards 4 and 5 of Endukakane The current elementary school will be developed
into an in-service venue for early childhood teachers within Waiye LLG constructed at the area of 4 acres,

with planning to accommodate approximately 120 plus pupils, and 5 staff workers from nursery school to
preparatory stage
The mission of MECEDC is to help underprivileged children excel in education and provide them with best
knowledge in ethics, environment and social studies, language studies, science, arts, and technology
under an environment that is conducive to learning and developing personality and moral values.
The objective is to provide for quality education that will equip underprivileged children and children from
low income families, while children from middle income families will be paying little amount so as to make
the school to be sustainable after the support that will be provided by the donors. Funding in the amount
of the K1, 500,000 is requested for the construction of the whole school infrastructures
.
1.0. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background and Context
Education is widely accepted to be a fundamental resource, both for individuals and Societies. Indeed,
in most countries, basic education is nowadays perceived not only as a right, but also as a duty.
Governments are typically expected to ensure access to basic education, while citizens are often required
by law to attain education up to a certain basic level.
The world went through a great expansion in education over the past two centuries. This can be seen
across all quantity measures. Global literacy rates have been climbing over the course of the last two
centuries, mainly though increasing rates of enrolment in primary education. Secondary and tertiary
educations have also seen drastic growth, with global average years of schooling being much higher
nowadays than a hundred years ago. Despite all these worldwide improvements, some countries have
been lagging behind, mainly where there are still countries that have literacy rates below 50% among
the youth. As such, the Early Childhood Education and Development is necessary for the community of
Endukakane – Monguma people of ward 4 in the Waiye LLG.
Data on the production of education shows that schooling tends to be largely financed with public
resources through GTFS . Since differences in national expenditure on Education do not well explaining
cross-country differences in learning outcomes, the Data suggests that generic policies that increase
expenditure on standard inputs, such as the number of teachers, are unlikely to be effective to improve
education outcomes. A growing body of empirical research suggests that better education yields higher
individual income and contributes towards the construction of social capital and long term economic
growth. Cross-country estimates of the return to education have found that the highest returns come
from the preparatory sector into primary schooling.

Monguma early childhood education and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com
Therefore, the Ministry of Education in Papua New Guinea is embarking on a huge programme of
educational development in the preparatory sector to ensure that each child will get the best quality
education.
There are more than 2.4 million school-age children who are enrolled and are in schools throughout
13,097 schools in Papua New Guinea, enticing government investment of K700m – K750m per annum
and the number keeps on increasing. This is a huge resource for PNG. www.edbismark.com
Each of these children is an individual in his or her own right, with feelings, emotions, talents, aspirations
and potential which could contribute to national development. This project “Monguma Early
Childhood Education and Development center” which is a community initiative and that its’ interest
is to implement Government efforts to educate all children and youth for the national prosperous future
by focusing on marginalized children (I.e. orphans, street children, children from very poor families and
children with special needs) in the region of Waiye local level Government.
1.2. Early Child Hood Education & Development Overview - Waiye
Waiye LLG covers Fifteen (15) Ward areas and according to the National census it has a Population of
30,000 out of which an estimate of 5,500 are Children enrolled in the preparatory sector.
Momgume – Ward 4 has a population of 1,312 in 2017. The Monguma Elementary is situated 3km away
from the main Okuk Highway. The School covers an area of 2.5 hectares and is bordered by lands owned
by the Nazarene Church bordered with four adjourning clans all under the tribe ENDUKAKANE
Presently there are 13 primary Schools operating in Kundiawa Gembogl District. These schools take in
students from elementary schools under the former structure which has undergone transition in the 1-6-
6 structure. Preparatory education is a fundamental right for every child, - regardless of his or her
religion, background, family status, ethnicity, physical abilities and any other differences; the Monguma
Community have decided to plan to construct a, Early Childhood Education and Development
Center to help marginalized children and children from middle income families to have access to quality
education the same as other children from rich families. Moreover, this school shall not be a business
oriented, it will be a ECED school.
The Bottom line is to strengthen foundation learning in early childhood incorporating God, Bible,
Phonics and Playschool has fundamentals of Early Childhood Education and Development.
1.3. Life standard of the Community Members of Waiye LLG
In March 2024 natural disaster turned it into a crisis. Some 3,000, about 1 in 5 of the population of the
Kundiawa Gembogl District at the time were affected. Since then Waiye LLG and its inhabitants are
poor and are starving. Due to the geographical and climatic condition, the inhabitants lives in severe
poverty and hunger since agricultural activities is not positively flourished as it happens to other regions
in Waiye LLG. Their children suffer so much since they are starving and don’t have access to quality

education. Many children become street beggars, pick pocketers, participating in petty activities and
involving themselves in different crimes to earn a living or getting income; which endanger their lives
and social wellbeing.
Due to this, the Monguma Early Childhood Education and Development Center MECEDC aimed at
constructing a nursery, pre and primary school so as to help people of poor, low and middle income
children have access to quality education. At future we expect to eradicate poverty to these communities
since the obtained knowledge, skills and attitude to the graduate children will be used to solve all
challenges.
1.4. Overview of the Educational activities done by Monguma
In January 2008 the ward Community has managed to establish and run n Elementary Education Centre,
which is found at Monguma. In this Centre, there are three (3) educational programs conducted which
are; Day care and Nursery school program known as Day care and Nursery School - which currently
accommodates 78 children whom most of them are orphans and children from poor families, Tuition
programs for primary and secondary school students. The center currently supports 291 primary school
pupils and 183 secondary school students (Grade 3 to 7 and Form 1 to Form 6 respectively, and Study
circles on various subjects for men and women. The center support more than 120 men and women
every week.
DECEDC has decided to request for the funding so as to construct a Nursery, Pre and Primary School
for Underprivileged Children at Waiye ward4, in Momgums. This school will help to accommodate
large number of pupils, including 78 pupils who are currently in learning at Day care and Nursery
School, it has been hired from other people.
1.5. 1.51.5. Statement of the need
MECEDC owns 4 acres of land for the purpose of constructing a nursery, pre and primary schools for
underprivileged school going children who are currently in need and support from other communities
who have ability to do so. The MECED is planning to construct a school to accommodate about 200
children in Moremaule area. Many children in this region are at a high risk of drop out since they receive
poor education, others are not even attending schools due to economic and social challenges, and they
cannot support themselves, let alone for quality education. The provision of primary schools with
free/little payment quality education will sustain MECEDC effort, reduce the risk of drop out, enable
the children achieve improvements in their lives and open more opportunities for other unfortunate
children in the future.
The K1,500,000 requested will provide 1 4 in 1 classroom, 4 teachers houses and preparation of school
environment to accommodate 200 underprivileged children.

Playgrounds are not a luxury
“Children who have access to extremely limited forms of play are deprived of the wide range
of learning and development opportunities that varied and imaginative play offers.”
Children in ECE must play in the way that any other children in the world do. You’ll see them
skipping in the street, making up games with piles of stones, or turning a plastic bottle into a
football. But, what you won’t see in most communities is children playing in a school or
public playground. Why? Because they don’t exist.
There are many people who find this acceptable — children find ingenious ways to play and
have fun without fancy play equipment. Playgrounds are a Western luxury, right?
Wrong. Play isn’t merely fun for infants and children of all ages; it enhances all types of
learning and development. The pleasure of play facilitates and accelerates cognitive, motor,
social and emotional skills.
Children who have access to extremely limited forms of play are deprived of the wide range of
learning and development opportunities that varied and imaginative play offers.
Three key reasons for playgrounds
“Playgrounds support early years’ development, facilitate free play, and support brain
development.”
So, why exactly are playgrounds the answer to providing children with this well-rounded
learning and development experience?
Here are three key reasons:
1. Playgrounds support early years’ development
Purpose-built playgrounds and play equipment create a learning environment like no other.
Rather than children having to scrabble around to find everyday items to play with,
playgrounds offer a natural environment for imaginative play.
A well-designed playground provides children with a wide range of activities that encourage
them to challenge their physical, social and emotional skills, and develop creativity.
A child that regularly plays in a playground will be able to develop well-rounded skills.
Children that make do when it comes to play, are limited in the skills that they can develop.
2. Playgrounds facilitates free play
Free play is different to the structured play of teacher-led sports games and organized
activities. It allows children to play in ways that they choose, and to interact with and learn
from other children of all ages.
14
Monguma early childhood education and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com
A playground creates a safe environment in which children can freely choose HOW to play
and with whom. It’s where they develop and learn to understand their preferences. A well
thought out playground will have space for alone time, space for small groups, and space for
large group games, like tag.
Playgrounds are the hub of social interaction. They bring children together to practice and
hone skills such as teamwork, conversation, sharing, compromise, negotiation and how to
express feelings. It’s where they begin to learn and implement social and cultural rules.
Playgrounds are a learning ground for life skills.
3. Playgrounds support all aspects of brain development
It’s well documented that play stimulates brain development and function in infants and young
children. Repetitive play consolidates a child’s:
Sensory functioning — touch, taste, smell, hearing, vision, balance and proprioception
(awareness of where your body is in space).
Motor skills — coordination, muscle development, balance and posture, gross and fine motor
skills, timing and rhythm, hand dominance, and visual tracking and coordination.
In the first six years of life, a child needs regular opportunities to varied and stimulating
sensory play if it is to develop these early years’ skills. A child that doesn’t have this
opportunity is likely to have some level of limited cognitive capacity for life.
The play structures found in purpose-built playgrounds and soft play areas give young
children the chance to practice the full range of sensory and motor skills. Older children can
challenge themselves on more advanced equipment.
Our vision for playgrounds in schools and communities
“We are working with community leaders to make safe, purpose-built playgrounds a standard
feature in schools and community parks.”
We don’t want children to make do; we want them to have access to playgrounds that provide
every opportunity to enhance their development. That’s why we are working with community
leaders to make safe, purpose-built playgrounds a standard feature in schools and community
parks.
We are working with the Board of Management at Monguma Elementary - MECEDC to
build a playground and sanitation facilities in the school. Take a look at the difference this
will make to the lives of over 200 children at the school/
Why are there so few playgrounds in our schools in Simbu?
15
Monguma early childhood education and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com
You may be wondering why this situation exists? It’s not that there is no money to build
playgrounds. Every year, hundreds of millions of Kina are lost to corruption in PNG.
Hundreds of millions of Kina that could be used to provide safe playground facilities where
children can learn, develop and have fun.
This is why we must set precedence and empower communities to hold leaders to account for
their management of public funds — for the future of our children.

5.0.JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
The right to education as reflected in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The Constitution mandates free and compulsory primary education in Papua New Guinea , but a lack of
resources and education infrastructure has made implementation difficult, especially to the societies in
The Waiye region. Although, we acknowledge that the PNG government has made good
investments in education, providing public school education for all children through secondary school,
training more qualified teachers and an established curriculum. However, despite all the progress made,
the PNG government still has a long way to meet the global standards in education, economic
development and sustainability. Its growth is outpacing the infrastructure. Communities suffer from
overcrowding, poor sanitation, low wages and high unemployment, which give reasons to many young
PNG to drop out of school which have resulted in dropouts migrating to urban centers seeking better
opportunities. Unfortunately, a bulk of them resorting to petty crimes and inflicted with social disorders.
17
Monguma early childhood education and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com
Currently, there are too many overcrowded classrooms, especially in rural areas, a shortage of school
furniture, and learning materials which are hindering the effective delivery of basic education in those
areas. As literacy, international languages such as English, Information Communication Technology
(ICT) and education levels increase in the population the demand for better-quality learning
environments becomes necessary. These are the reasons why the Monguma Early Childhood Education
and Development Center wish to seek financial assistance from Individual (s), non-profit organizations
(NGOs), Philanthropist, ordinary and friends from in and outside PNG to implement the proposed
construction as the site plan shows.
6.0. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The MECEDC will manage and coordinate the entire project. This will be done by hiring an
experienced local construction or building contractor (Kulsuna Builders and Contractors) KBC to
supervise the construction crew along with other stakeholders who will be responsible for the
implementation of the project. The project coordinators will be reporting to MECEDC office in our
headquarters in Momguma, where a centrally compiled report would be sent to donors and
stakeholders by the program manager.
7.0. PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION
A variety of formal and informal Monitoring and Evaluation mechanisms will be central to ensuring
the appropriate delivery of effective and sustainable services. These will include: Multi Indicator
Cluster Surveys, class performance surveys, class attendance data, girl-boy retention data and exit
surveys. A project team headed by a project Board shall be established to execute the project once
funding is secured for mobilization, Implementation, Completion and commissioning of the project.

    2 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com PRELUDE Quality Early Child Education is an essential pathway for a child to excel with much competence. The teaching methodologies used by trained teachers and the learning environment where a child is placed creates value. Learning starts from the day we are born and continues throughout our lives. It is recognized that the early years of life are the most important for learning and where future foundations are laid for growth and development which leads into childhood, the teenage years and ultimately into adulthood. The term ‘the early years’ is used in slightly different ways: To some it means the years from birth to eight years; to others it means the years before school entry; while others focus mainly on the first three years of life. All these periods are critical in every child’s life, and it is important children are provided with meaningful opportunities to learn, develop and engage in positive interactions with their families and others. Early childhood education and care is more than children’s preparation for primary school; it acknowledges that families are central to the lives of children, and requires a holistic approach for Educators to work in partnership with families to provide the support they need to meet each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development and needs in order to build a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. Early Childhood Education (ECE) in PNG has never been a part of the formal education system and it has been the responsibility of the Department for Community Development and Religion (DfCDR) but this Department has little capacity to advance ECE further technically. The Department of Education (DoE) has been supporting the DfCDR in the areas of teacher education, curriculum development and developing a policy document to govern the establishment of early childhood centers. NEC Decision No 232/2020 on Early Childhood Education and NEC Decision No 347/2020 National Education Plan 2020-2029 noted the importance of early childhood development and approved Districts and Churches to partner in delivering Early Childhood Sector. NEC also approved pre-school to be financed under a Public Private Church Community Partnership. I am proud to present this submission to Hon. Dawa Lucas Dekena, MP Gumine and Minister for Education as indicated in the newspaper caption attached. Early Childhood Implementations requires cooperation from community, Local Government, NGOs, development partners and that the Bible, Word of God, Phonics and Playschool are keys for development of Early Childhood learning hence, the proposed center at Moguma; EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT CENTER - MECEDC will ensure to implement this for the People of Edukane, ward4 Waiye LLG

    3 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com Accordingly, the NEP 2019-2029 on Early Childhood Education (ECE), Focus Area 1, will gradually become the responsibility of the DoE over the plan period. Under the current 1-6-6 structure, the Department will take care of the 6 years old and will gradually embrace early childhood education which will see the enrolment of 4 and 5 year olds in the early stages prior to formal schooling sometimes during the plan period. The Importance to promote early childhood learning has challenged the Education department. It is expected that during the plan period a PNG model for ECE will be developed with contributions from all parts of society. There are still important decisions to be made in regard to the financing of ECE that will be determined by the NEC early in the plan period. An ECE unit will be established within the Department following a restructuring and the Department will increasingly take the lead in technical areas where they have a comparative advantage. Ultimately, the Department will take responsibility for all aspects of Early Childhood in later stages of the plan. The Moguma Early Childhood Education & Development Center is a infrastructure development program 2024 – 2027 targets where ECD (Early Childhood Development) Learning system is introduced with selective projects presented to achieve overall objective of this submission. This Document is presented for the benefit of Waiye LLG where the twelve (12) ward areas shall participate in implementing early Childhood Education and Development effective 2025 and as such the project MECEDC is an initiative of the Endukakane People to achieve quality education where the MECEDC will host in-service for trainers of ECE throughout Waiye LLG where ECE will replace the Elementary schools.

    7 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com with planning to accommodate approximately 120 plus pupils, and 5 staff workers from nursery school to preparatory stage The mission of MECEDC is to help underprivileged children excel in education and provide them with best knowledge in ethics, environment and social studies, language studies, science, arts, and technology under an environment that is conducive to learning and developing personality and moral values. The objective is to provide for quality education that will equip underprivileged children and children from low income families, while children from middle income families will be paying little amount so as to make the school to be sustainable after the support that will be provided by the donors. Funding in the amount of the K1, 500,000 is requested for the construction of the whole school infrastructures . 1.0. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background and Context Education is widely accepted to be a fundamental resource, both for individuals and Societies. Indeed, in most countries, basic education is nowadays perceived not only as a right, but also as a duty. Governments are typically expected to ensure access to basic education, while citizens are often required by law to attain education up to a certain basic level. The world went through a great expansion in education over the past two centuries. This can be seen across all quantity measures. Global literacy rates have been climbing over the course of the last two centuries, mainly though increasing rates of enrolment in primary education. Secondary and tertiary educations have also seen drastic growth, with global average years of schooling being much higher nowadays than a hundred years ago. Despite all these worldwide improvements, some countries have been lagging behind, mainly where there are still countries that have literacy rates below 50% among the youth. As such, the Early Childhood Education and Development is necessary for the community of Endukakane – Monguma people of ward 4 in the Waiye LLG. Data on the production of education shows that schooling tends to be largely financed with public resources through GTFS . Since differences in national expenditure on Education do not well explaining cross-country differences in learning outcomes, the Data suggests that generic policies that increase expenditure on standard inputs, such as the number of teachers, are unlikely to be effective to improve education outcomes. A growing body of empirical research suggests that better education yields higher individual income and contributes towards the construction of social capital and long term economic growth. Cross-country estimates of the return to education have found that the highest returns come from the preparatory sector into primary schooling.

There are more than 2.4 million school-age children who are enrolled and are in schools throughout 13,097 schools in Papua New Guinea, enticing government investment of K700m – K750m per annum and the number keeps on increasing. This is a huge resource for PNG. www.edbismark.com Each of these children is an individual in his or her own right, with feelings, emotions, talents, aspirations and potential which could contribute to national development. This project “Monguma Early Childhood Education and Development center” which is a community initiative and that its’ interest is to implement Government efforts to educate all children and youth for the national prosperous future by focusing on marginalized children (I.e. orphans, street children, children from very poor families and children with special needs) in the region of Waiye local level Government. 1.2. Early Child Hood Education & Development Overview - Waiye Waiye LLG covers Fifteen (15) Ward areas and according to the National census it has a Population of 30,000 out of which an estimate of 5,500 are Children enrolled in the preparatory sector. Momgume – Ward 4 has a population of 1,312 in 2017. The Monguma Elementary is situated 3km away from the main Okuk Highway. The School covers an area of 2.5 hectares and is bordered by lands owned by the Nazarene Church bordered with four adjourning clans all under the tribe ENDUKAKANE Presently there are 13 primary Schools operating in Kundiawa Gembogl District. These schools take in students from elementary schools under the former structure which has undergone transition in the 1-6- 6 structure. Preparatory education is a fundamental right for every child, - regardless of his or her religion, background, family status, ethnicity, physical abilities and any other differences; the Monguma Community have decided to plan to construct a, Early Childhood Education and Development Center to help marginalized children and children from middle income families to have access to quality education the same as other children from rich families. Moreover, this school shall not be a business oriented, it will be a ECED school. The Bottom line is to strengthen foundation learning in early childhood incorporating God, Bible, Phonics and Playschool has fundamentals of Early Childhood Education and Development. 1.3. Life standard of the Community Members of Waiye LLG In March 2024 natural disaster turned it into a crisis. Some 3,000, about 1 in 5 of the population of the Kundiawa Gembogl District at the time were affected. Since then Waiye LLG and its inhabitants are poor and are starving. Due to the geographical and climatic condition, the inhabitants lives in severe poverty and hunger since agricultural activities is not positively flourished as it happens to other regions in Waiye LLG.

Many children become street beggars, pick pocketers, participating in petty activities and involving themselves in different crimes to earn a living or getting income; which endanger their lives and social wellbeing. Due to this, the Monguma Early Childhood Education and Development Center MECEDC aimed at constructing a nursery, pre and primary school so as to help people of poor, low and middle income children have access to quality education. At future we expect to eradicate poverty to these communities since the obtained knowledge, skills and attitude to the graduate children will be used to solve all challenges. 1.4. Overview of the Educational activities done by Monguma In January 2008 the ward Community has managed to establish and run n Elementary Education Centre, which is found at Monguma. In this Centre, there are three (3) educational programs conducted which are; Day care and Nursery school program known as Day care and Nursery School - which currently accommodates 78 children whom most of them are orphans and children from poor families, Tuition programs for primary and secondary school students. The center currently supports 291 primary school pupils and 183 secondary school students (Grade 3 to 7 and Form 1 to Form 6 respectively, and Study circles on various subjects for men and women. The center support more than 120 men and women every week. DECEDC has decided to request for the funding so as to construct a Nursery, Pre and Primary School for Underprivileged Children at Waiye ward4, in Momgums. This school will help to accommodate large number of pupils, including 78 pupils who are currently in learning at Day care and Nursery School, it has been hired from other people. 1.5. 1.51.5. Statement of the need MECEDC owns 4 acres of land for the purpose of constructing a nursery, pre and primary schools for underprivileged school going children who are currently in need and support from other communities who have ability to do so. The MECED is planning to construct a school to accommodate about 200 children in Moremaule area. Many children in this region are at a high risk of drop out since they receive poor education, others are not even attending schools due to economic and social challenges, and they cannot support themselves, let alone for quality education. The provision of primary schools with free/little payment quality education will sustain MECEDC effort, reduce the risk of drop out, enable the children achieve improvements in their lives and open more opportunities for other unfortunate children in the future. The K1,500,000 requested will provide 1 4 in 1 classroom, 4 teachers houses and preparation of school environment to accommodate 200 underprivileged children.

    13 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com Playgrounds are not a luxury “Children who have access to extremely limited forms of play are deprived of the wide range of learning and development opportunities that varied and imaginative play offers.” Children in ECE must play in the way that any other children in the world do. You’ll see them skipping in the street, making up games with piles of stones, or turning a plastic bottle into a football. But, what you won’t see in most communities is children playing in a school or public playground. Why? Because they don’t exist. There are many people who find this acceptable — children find ingenious ways to play and have fun without fancy play equipment. Playgrounds are a Western luxury, right? Wrong. Play isn’t merely fun for infants and children of all ages; it enhances all types of learning and development. The pleasure of play facilitates and accelerates cognitive, motor, social and emotional skills. Children who have access to extremely limited forms of play are deprived of the wide range of learning and development opportunities that varied and imaginative play offers. Three key reasons for playgrounds “Playgrounds support early years’ development, facilitate free play, and support brain development.” So, why exactly are playgrounds the answer to providing children with this well-rounded learning and development experience? Here are three key reasons: 1. Playgrounds support early years’ development Purpose-built playgrounds and play equipment create a learning environment like no other. Rather than children having to scrabble around to find everyday items to play with, playgrounds offer a natural environment for imaginative play. A well-designed playground provides children with a wide range of activities that encourage them to challenge their physical, social and emotional skills, and develop creativity. A child that regularly plays in a playground will be able to develop well-rounded skills. Children that make do when it comes to play, are limited in the skills that they can develop. 2. Playgrounds facilitates free play Free play is different to the structured play of teacher-led sports games and organized activities. It allows children to play in ways that they choose, and to interact with and learn from other children of all ages.

    14 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com A playground creates a safe environment in which children can freely choose HOW to play and with whom. It’s where they develop and learn to understand their preferences. A well thought out playground will have space for alone time, space for small groups, and space for large group games, like tag. Playgrounds are the hub of social interaction. They bring children together to practice and hone skills such as teamwork, conversation, sharing, compromise, negotiation and how to express feelings. It’s where they begin to learn and implement social and cultural rules. Playgrounds are a learning ground for life skills. 3. Playgrounds support all aspects of brain development It’s well documented that play stimulates brain development and function in infants and young children. Repetitive play consolidates a child’s: Sensory functioning — touch, taste, smell, hearing, vision, balance and proprioception (awareness of where your body is in space). Motor skills — coordination, muscle development, balance and posture, gross and fine motor skills, timing and rhythm, hand dominance, and visual tracking and coordination. In the first six years of life, a child needs regular opportunities to varied and stimulating sensory play if it is to develop these early years’ skills. A child that doesn’t have this opportunity is likely to have some level of limited cognitive capacity for life. The play structures found in purpose-built playgrounds and soft play areas give young children the chance to practice the full range of sensory and motor skills. Older children can challenge themselves on more advanced equipment. Our vision for playgrounds in schools and communities “We are working with community leaders to make safe, purpose-built playgrounds a standard feature in schools and community parks.” We don’t want children to make do; we want them to have access to playgrounds that provide every opportunity to enhance their development. That’s why we are working with community leaders to make safe, purpose-built playgrounds a standard feature in schools and community parks. We are working with the Board of Management at Monguma Elementary - MECEDC to build a playground and sanitation facilities in the school. Take a look at the difference this will make to the lives of over 200 children at the school/ Why are there so few playgrounds in our schools in Simbu?

    15 Monguma early childhoodeducation and Development Center 2025 -2028 by elias elwai Williams @ www.edbismark.com You may be wondering why this situation exists? It’s not that there is no money to build playgrounds. Every year, hundreds of millions of Kina are lost to corruption in PNG. Hundreds of millions of Kina that could be used to provide safe playground facilities where children can learn, develop and have fun. This is why we must set precedence and empower communities to hold leaders to account for their management of public funds — for the future of our children.

The Constitution mandates free and compulsory primary education in Papua New Guinea , but a lack of resources and education infrastructure has made implementation difficult, especially to the societies in The Waiye region. Although, we acknowledge that the PNG government has made good investments in education, providing public school education for all children through secondary school, training more qualified teachers and an established curriculum. However, despite all the progress made, the PNG government still has a long way to meet the global standards in education, economic development and sustainability. Its growth is outpacing the infrastructure. Communities suffer from overcrowding, poor sanitation, low wages and high unemployment, which give reasons to many young PNG to drop out of school which have resulted in dropouts migrating to urban centers seeking better opportunities. Unfortunately, a bulk of them resorting to petty crimes and inflicted with social disorders.
