![]() “My main defining moment throughout my primary and secondary education was when I came to realise that education is the key to having a successful future. I believe that education helps people to think critically, develops positive personalities, and gives people the chance to have good careers. Education empowers people to help themselves, their communities, provinces and nation. The more educated we are, the better the services we can provide.” These are the words of a young Papua New Guinean woman who will be part of the pioneering staff members at Western Pacific University in 2021. Carol Winuan, amongst a handful of other women and men, will be leading the way in shaping the learning culture of the newly established University. Currently undertaking studies for her Masters in International Management at the University of Information Technology and Management in Poland, Ms. Winuan is looking forward to working at Western Pacific University upon the completion of her two year course. “My main reason for choosing to work with Western Pacific University is so that I can give back to my country by helping young Papua New Guineans through education. I am a believer of how education can positively change societies, and I feel that I need to take this on as a platform to help, whether it be imparting knowledge to students through teaching or in any other way, as long as I play my part to contribute to the development of our country.”
Coming from a mixed parentage of Jiwaka and East Sepik Province, Ms. Winuan spent much of her childhood in Jiwaka Province and West New Britain Province, where she attended primary and secondary schools in the respective provinces. She graduated from Divine Word University in 2019 with her Bachelor of Arts in Papua New Guinea Studies and International Relations. Ms. Winuan says that her family has always supported her decisions when it comes to education and her career path and that they always pray for her and that they are proud of her achievements so far. “As a woman I know that education will provide anything that I want. I know the importance of being educated and I want every young girl, boy and adult to know that you can become anything in life if you take learning seriously. Education will take you places, give you your dream job(s), and put you in a position to be a world changer,” said Ms. Winuan.
