In some rural primary schools within Morobe, Papua New Guinea, educators relying on digital versions of teachers' guides and syllabi are encountering significant difficulties, as reported by a local head teacher. The issue appears to be more pronounced for those lacking the essential equipment needed to access these instructional materials.
Siing Goping, the head teacher of Wana Primary School in Nawaeb’s Wain-Erap, acknowledged that while the use of digital resources is manageable for junior primary school levels, senior primary school educators in rural areas are grappling with the absence of laptops, desktop computers, and other necessary devices. In a strategic move to enhance the quality of education in the province, the Morobe government has earmarked K1 million for the school inspectorate division. Administrator Max Bruten revealed that this budget allocation is intended to facilitate inspector visits to all urban and rural schools across Morobe. Bruten emphasized that achieving quality education is directly linked to the diligent work of school inspectors. Their visits, he stated, are crucial in ensuring the presence of teachers in schools and the effective delivery of education.
