Text Books
The National Textbook serves as a comprehensive resource offering a diverse range of activities and ideas, facilitating learning in collaboration with teachers or independently as a self-directed learner. The acquired learning skills and processes are intended to serve as instrumental tools for grasping the concepts presented in each subject. Students are strongly encouraged to apply their acquired knowledge on a daily basis, fostering continuous practice both within the school environment and at home with family and friends.

Teacher's Manual 

The Teacher's Manual is specifically crafted for primary school educators, serving as a valuable aid to assist and guide them in planning and delivering lessons aligned with the National Textbook. Tailored to meet the content standards stipulated in the syllabus, the Teacher's Manual is instrumental in achieving the implemented curriculum. It offers pertinent teaching and learning content, encompassing concepts crucial for primary school teachers to uphold standardized lessons throughout daily, termly, and yearly teaching and learning activities. The manual comprehensively addresses essential aspects of what to teach, how to teach, and what to assess. It is imperative that these Teacher's Manuals are utilized in conjunction with the National Textbook as the official resource for teaching in all primary schools across Papua New Guinea, aligning with the government's commitment to the policy of "No child left behind in quality education."

Schools throughout the country must use  the following rules to determine estimated scores. This applies to

• Upper Secondary (Grades 11 - 12)
• Junior High Schools (Grades 9 - 10)
• Upper Primary (Grades 6 to 8)
