By John EZEKIEL Aviamp –Pikus Elementary school in Anglimp south Waghi –Jiwaka province was established in January 2022. The idea to start this elementary was initiated by a small PIKUS Community back in 2019 with their leader Mr Peter Gene and the Mengemp community chairman Mr Peter Maltu .Mr Gene had decided to give his customary land to the local community to build an Elementary by 2022. With the support from the community youths the PNG RURAL DEVELOPMENT INC have stepped in to assure them, they will make an effort to register it with the Education Department As soon, we now see that our students are enrolling themselves with two volunteer teachers and a total of 36 phonic class. There is a Great need to support literacy and numeracy level in our community of 11 000 + population. There are no nearby schools that our children can go to start their early education as most of us are not educated parents –A parent said. This is the only hope and we know that the number of attendance will increase every term and not years as it is the only school in our community. PNG RURAL DEVELOPMENT INC There is an urgent need to reform the educational system to achieve universal basics education in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Even after 47 years of Independence, PNG has been struggling to educate an estimated 3 million elementary and primary aged children and faces numerous challenges in providing Education for All (EFA). This study was conducted in four primary schools of Buma Yong area of Lae district of Morobe Province, PNG. The study revealed that the quality of education has been deteriorated over the past few decades. Many schools in PNG do not have classrooms, teachers, and basic facilities. As a result, the children losing interest going to school. The children dropped out of school so as to assist their families in the household and agricultural activities. It also reveals that the dropout rate of girls is more than that of the boys due to the gender disparity in the country. The study recommended that budgetary allocations should be increased so as to improve the infrastructural facilities and encourage the children to attend primary school and thus achieve the Millennium Development Goal/Education for All in PNG.
