Bad grades thanks to OBE
The National, Wednesday February 12th, 2014
IT is surprising to hear from the Education Department of the grades in PNG in 2013 (The National, Feb 2).
It is the fruits of past governments that we are now harvesting and we will harvest more of that going forward.
It is the result of the outcomes-based education (OBE) and we cannot blame the teachers, the materials and what not.
It is the product of past governments of PNG.
I thank Prime Minister Peter O’Neill for reconsidering the OBE when he got into power.
I believe it is in the pipeline to do away with it. We must be mindful if we want to introduce new projects in any department that are brought in from developed countries.
PNG is not a testing place.
