<p>One of the first things that expatriate parents would like to know when moving to a new country is the type of schools available. Hausples has taken the initiative to provide this information as a guide to schools in PNG.</p>
<h2>PNG’s Education System</h2>
<p>Papua New Guinea's education system commands a funny history, in terms of being highly regionalized, owing to its current development in different missionary systems. </p>
<p>Surprisingly, however, school attendance and the rate of literacy is at an all-time low, even when compared to other Oceania countries.</p>
<p><img alt="" height="663" src="https://hausplespg.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/fhf9AhurZbeSJtV3mWwDNeGIwqUOZNL3UxMX9MiNBdlzz5nX4o3oWgbz7hl3r7zN0fOa70xyBNRRZ5mu6VI8z9_2ylUYpHWAqnePWwyYdneXkLdVXOwJLwhfdSLHQesKMdoyQw6S_8te0Swb.png" width="940"/></p>
<p>About two-thirds of all school-aged children attend school, of which a slightly smaller number of this figure represents girls. Under the new Marape-Basil led government, the free education policy has been replaced with a new one that will see parents paying for school fees from Grade 1 up to Grade 10. From Grade 11 onwards, the responsibility becomes that of the provincial governments. Even a student loan option is in place for pupils who make it into universities.</p>
<p>The education system comes in three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary education begins with instructions for Grades 1 to 8. Students who pass the Grade 8 exams make it to the Secondary level, and further on to Higher Education if they pass the Grade 12 exams.</p>
<p>Worthy of note, the Secondary level has two parts: a lower secondary that caters to grades 9 and 10 students, while the upper secondary comprises years 11 to 12. Students who pass the year 12 exams are eligible for Higher Education in tertiary institutions.</p>
<p>The academic year, as always, begins in January and ends in December.</p>
<h2>Papua New Guinea Curriculum</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The PNG education system comes in three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary education begins with Grades 1 to 6, and secondary school from Grades 8 to 12. Post Grade 12 students can pursue tertiary education.</span></p>
<h3>International Schools in PNG</h3>
<p><img alt="" height="627" src="https://hausplespg.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/18tECZxpvOlifPvEFUtZBu_V3aSCNHYHKCCu0PVSOx54RLCfXbyQmvGJLdQgFH48IdKUxOchMhplJRLVl9vHty2zFWJYHf_cO4DmdipPfpJ5prTqwbxhlrEgfBSYOFfX7DEWJdD1_Pyy90yd.png" width="939"/></p>
<p>PNG's international schools sadly do not occupy a big portion of education in PNG, but are among some of the best schools the country has to offer</p>
<p>In terms of educational standards, international schools here reflect those around the globe, which effects an easy and simple transition between schools, even if an expatriate child is in the process of transferring to Papua New Guinea from abroad.</p>
<p>International schools in PNG have a student body and a curriculum model that mirrors those in America, the United Kingdom and even Australia and France.</p>
<p>The Primary school portion of international schools do offer instructions in a variety of languages, apart from English being the dominant vernacular. The world approved accreditation such as the international baccalaureate are compatible in these schools.</p>
<p>The admission or enrollment systems in these schools vary from one institution to another, and space can be a problem most of the time. The governing policies will always favour those pupils who are based in-country.</p>
<p>Due to the quality facilities, first-rate education standards, and extracurricular activities provided by these schools, tuition fees are usually expensive.</p>
<p>All in all, keep in mind that although you may come across some local students, these schools are geared towards an international student body.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">PNG's international schools sadly do not occupy a large portion of education in PNG but are some of the best schools in the country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">International schools offer a wide range of curriculum models that mirror those in various countries, including America, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and the International Baccalaureate. International schools usually allow students to transition to internationally recognised tertiary institutions and are highly recommended. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The admission to PNG’s international schools varies from one institution to another, and there are frequently limited spaces. Due to the top-quality facilities, first-rate education standards, and extracurricular activities these schools provide, tuition fees are usually expensive.</span></p>
<h3>Location of schools in PNG</h3>
<p><img alt="" height="531" src="https://hausplespg.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/9JOiqUAvJCpww1eXa3hI220I9L3QfTHsAl7RSRt3PLSXAvEAzoWqAAz7LE1RBiF03ugBwN5-U1aUl5fmzXxAW5-671DZVB6ENjFO_chXRgq_BJ8XB8O65d-4g1LQxAmz8cGhyqpY_Lz02r5y.png" width="943"/></p>
<p>There are few international schools distributed rigorously around PNG, such as the <a href="https://laeinternationalschool.com/">Lae International School</a> in Morobe Province, or <a href="https://ukarumpainternationalschool.org/">Ukarumpa International School</a> in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province. But they are usually just one or two. </p>
<p>Most of the international schools, however, are located in Port Moresby. The city’s strategic location and multi-cultural energy that coexist are the pull-factor for expatriates; hence, the statement.</p>
<p>Needless to say, the important thing to remember - whilst learning more about international schools in PNG, - is that location should be high on your priority list. You want easy accessibility, which is a luxury you can’t afford to ignore, for your children, plus you want to be able to attend school gatherings with ease, when you’re required to. Rather than wrestling with your thoughts of whether or not it's a good idea to attend, since you have to navigate a road that’s straight out of a horror movie.</p>
<h2>School Accreditation &amp; Membership</h2>
<p>The <a href="http://ieapng.net/">International Education Agency</a> (IEA) is currently the largest independent education provider in PNG.</p>
<p>IEA has been around long before PNG got its independence, managing schools operated by the Australian and United Nations administrations.</p>
<p>The independent Education Agency supervised twenty-four independent schools, back then, ranging from pre-schools through twelve graders, with no ties to any religious institution.</p>
<p>Today, IEA  operates 18 schools and TAFE (Vocational Education) colleges around PNG. Most importantly, the education agency is a not-for-profit business and is owned by the schools it operates.</p>
