ACTING Education secretary Dr Uke Kombra says there are many demands and challenges facing the education system but its success depends on good leadership.
He was addressing provincial education advisers and standard officers in Port Moresby during the joint national rating of teachers. “We are at the cross road. We are now faced with demands that we have never experienced before from the public, from leaders, from parents and from students,” Kombra said. He said the demand for education for every child and quality education and training for all were challenges faced. He said therefore, the education system had been reformed and policies changed to survive in the globalised era. “As we face this globalised world - a world that we have to compete with not only in Papua New Guinea but in every other country - we relook at our policies, practices so that we are empowered with what’s happening in PNG and in rest of the world. “Therefore, we are continuously looking at ways of how we can reform and change our education system so that we can survive. Some of the reforms we are undertaking are small but there are also major reforms so that we can compete and survive in the globalised world.” He said teachers were not there only to teach but also to be leaders.
