Someone in Education Department is sleeping on the job for eight years!

PORT MORESBY: Why do you think the standard of education in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is generally making slow progress?

What do you expect when no one from the department has inspected teachers in Jiwaka for eight years!

This was lamented by Jiwaka education adviser Dr Charly Muke as reported by The National.

Is it also the same elsewhere?

Muke said inspections were part of the process to ensure quality in the education system.

Call for inspection in Jiwaka

By JINA AMBA
TEACHERS in Jiwaka have not been inspected in the last eight years, provincial education adviser Dr Charly Muke says.
He said this resulted in a drop in school performances over the last few years.
Dr Muke said inspections were part of the process to ensure quality in the education system.
He said over the last eight years, only four teachers were inspected by Jiwaka inspectors.
Dr Muke said this meant all Jiwaka secondary school principals had not been inspected and had not reached the required level of competency and qualification for their positions.
He said schools in Jiwaka had no level 10 teachers to choose from.
Dr Muke said this meant that if the provincial education board wanted to change principals, they would only have under-qualified teachers to select from.
He said the inspection system monitored and developed teachers to level 10.
Dr Muke said the provincial education board had advertised seven principal positions and would only accept qualified teachers.
He said this meant none of the province’s serving teachers would be considered.
Dr Muke said people from outside the province and the country would be recruited.
He said overseas teachers and principals would be recruited as Jiwaka was the fourth province approved by Education Department’s human resource division to recruit overseas teachers.
Dr Muke, who was in Australia, said he had returned to Papua New Guinea to promote standard and quality education in Jiwaka.
