Change our education system
SEVENTEEN thousand grade 12s missing out on a selection in colleges and universities is an educational system blunder.
We have created a monster and are continuing to feed it every year.
Prime Minister James Marape, we need your Cabinet to reform the education system and ensure those who miss out receive technical and vocational education to prepare them for the job markets.
The Government can partner with business houses to create opportunities for grade 12 leavers to get direct industrial training.
They can eventually enter job markets as skilled labourers.
Grade 12 leavers could also be enlisted in the disciplined forces.
The Government can help in training them in agriculture and farming.
There are ways to make Papua New Guinea free from systemic school leaving systems.
Such reforms will increase economic activities and create a society of skilled people who will work to earn a living.
The more skilled population we have, the more advance our country will be.
We cannot continue to use this old education system.
It is simply obsolete.

One thought on “Change our education system”
It is very funny to have all these seventeen thousand unfortunate grade twelve drop – out who would be staying aimlessly in their villages and roaming around the streets of our main centers in the country. Therefore whose fault is that we have all these unfortunate ones? Shall we blame the parents?, but they raised them to this level.so they succeeded. Shall we blame the teacher?, it might be partly right and wrong to blame them for. What about our education system? I hope there is a failure… please look into such by reforming and restructuring the system. We are still relying on Aussies’ and British system of education and not the Melanesian way. Why not operate in our God given context since it is not too late.
