Papua New Guinea faces a severe education crisis, with widespread teacher shortages, poor infrastructure, and low student attendance undermining the country’s development. A new report from the Lowy Institute examines the systemic challenges, including high turnover among educators and limited access to quality learning resources in rural areas. Experts highlight the need for urgent policy reforms and international support to address gaps in teacher training and school facilities. The analysis underscores how education failures risk perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality across the nation.
