In a steadfast commitment to fostering educational opportunities in remote areas of Papua New Guinea, Australia continues its support through the #PNGAusPartnership. Since 2019, Australia has generously sponsored over 100 scholarships for Flexible and Open Distance Education (FODE), benefiting elementary teachers, health workers, and volunteers residing along the Kokoda Track region. Among the beneficiaries is Natasha Maino, one of 18 elementary teachers and two health volunteers from the Sogeri region sponsored to pursue studies through FODE. Natasha successfully matriculated at the Central FODE center, completing her program in 2022. Having dedicated over two decades to teaching at the elementary level, Natasha expressed her gratitude for the Australian-funded FODE sponsorship, which provided her with the opportunity to advance her teaching career. She shared, “I've been teaching elementary level for over 20 years and have always challenged myself to do more but never had the opportunity to do so.” Currently, Natasha is furthering her education at the Papua New Guinea Education Institute, working towards obtaining a higher Junior Primary School teaching qualification. Her journey stands as a testament to the positive impact of international partnerships on the educational landscape of Papua New Guinea's remote communities. Next : Comments are closed.
