Mission

The Department of Education's mission, as defined by the National Executive Council, is fivefold:

• To facilitate and promote the integral development of every individual,
• To develop and encourage an education system which satisfies the requirements of Papua New Guinea and its people,
• To establish, preserve, and improve the standards of education throughout Papua New Guinea,
• To make the benefits of such education available as widely as possible to all the people; and
• To make education accessible to the poor and physically, mentally and socially handicapped, as well as to those who are educationally disadvantaged.
