School Learning Improvement Plan (SLIP)

Joseph Dongaria, senior teacher at Kaugere Primary School says this is a concern for the betterment of quality management, quality education, and good governance in schools especially here in NCD.

SLIP is the strategy meant to drive the implementation and the establishment of the Universal Basic Education platform which is to promote access for every Papua New Guinean children to acquire full basic education from Early Childhood Learning right up to Grade 12.

The Education Department’s First Assistant Secretary for Policy and Research Wing, Peter Kants, says SLIP, which came into existence in 2006, can be easily implemented as it does not require a lot of resources, but needs effective leadership to move it forward.

During a consultative forum with principals and governing councils’ chairpersons on August 14, held at the National Polytechnic Institute, Morobe Province, Kants explained that the SLIP program was borne in 2006 after a review was undertaken on school teaching and learning environment and management.
