The project was delivered by the Kokoda Track Foundation (KTF), PNG Education Institute (PNGEI) and Manus Provincial Department of Education.
The Certificate enables partially trained teachers – some 7,500 across PNG – to upgrade their qualifications to meet the PNG Government’s new changes to the minimum qualifications required of elementary teachers. Without the additional six weeks’ training, the teachers would no longer be employable, putting at risk the schooling of hundreds of thousands of students.
