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.
Goping expressed his concern about the challenges faced by teachers in preparing teaching programs at the senior primary level. He emphasized that the problem is not unique to his school but may extend to other educational institutions in the province and the country at large. "We at this school are facing this problem, and this may be the same for other schools in the province and the country," remarked Goping. He urged authorities to consider providing assistance to teachers in the form of necessary equipment to facilitate effective program preparation. Additionally, Goping proposed that, if feasible, materials should be made available in hard copies to streamline the process for educators without access to digital devices, ultimately saving time. In an appeal to district development authorities in Morobe, Goping called for support in the form of printing hard copies of instructional materials. He emphasized the importance of this assistance for the development of future human resources in the region.
