THE standard-based curriculum should be fine-tuned to be a true learning platform for every child, says East New Britain deputy governor Cosmas Bauk. He was speaking during the launch of the rollout of the standard-based curriculum in Kokopo, East New Britain, on Friday. “Standard-based education should be a reality educational platform that can identify children’s strengths, potential, talents, abilities and interests and helps foster and nurture their growth,” Bauk said. Bauk, also the provincial education chairman, said outcome-based education had failed 95 per cent of children since it was introduced.
He said East New Britain, through the standard-based curriculum, should quickly adopt a “no drop-out” provincial education policy. Bauk said the country had suffered through changing curriculums from standard-based to outcome-based, and then reverted back to standard-based. “Under OBE, it was 15 years of trial-and-error,” he said. “That has a hefty human social cost of our own children systemically illiterate, landing PNG with 65 per cent illiteracy rate. SBC is and must be the real deal. I propose an adult literacy curriculum to assist our illiterate youths created by OBE.”

The difference between the Standards Based Education (SBC) and the previous Outcomes Based Educational (OBE) is nothing. If you check syllabuses based on SBC and those based on OBE you will discover that the statements, describing what students should achieve, are the same in both.
