Credit is given to the Madang Provincial Education Board for its wisdom and choice of highly resourceful and dedicated membership of the Consultative Committee. Mr. Anton Yagama with his inspiring leadership has led the Committee on numerous visits to all districts of the Province. We highly appreciate contributions done by the former Education Director Mr Christopher Bulu for his contributions towards the development of the plan. The Madang Provincial Government is applauded through the then Acting Governor for Madang Province, Honorable Bunag Kiup, the chairman of Education Committee, Honorable Wanas Kosi and the Madang Provincial Administrator, Mr. Joseph Dorpar for their support towards the development of this plan. We also acknowledge the contributions of past leaders, namely Mr. Mafuk Gainder and Mr.Peter Nombo, both former MPs for Raikos, Mr. Godfried Aringawa, former MP for Middle- Ramu, and Mr. Kare Maor, former MP for Sumkar. Their vision and wisdom expressed through the consultations and what they perceive to be our new pathways for the future are highly praised.

This is truly the people’s Plan and to see that this goal is achieved, partnership in Education must be strengthened by all Stakeholders. This means there must be sound relationship established between all parties involved. There must be more consultation, more involvement and more participation in terms of School based decision-making and problem solving. Thank you all so much and God Bless. Moses Sariki (Mr) Acting Director - Education iii Message from the Governor, Madang Province As the Governor of the Madang Provincial Government, I am proud to acknowledge the Madang Provincial Ten Year Education Plan (PEP) for 2009 to 2018. The Plan presents a bold new vision for education, reflecting Access , Equity , Quality , Multi-skills and Excellence for both the Madang Province and Papua New Guinea. Madang and West New Britain Provinces commenced the implementation of the Education Reform Policy in Papua New Guinea at the beginning of 1993. The last Madang Provincial Education Plan (1996 – 2004) built on bold initiatives in education which saw the establishment of 324 elementary schools, converted 148 community schools to primary, three high schools to secondary and two vocational centers. In this ten year plan the province is expected to open up 447 elementary schools, 56 primary schools, three more secondary schools, two new high schools and six new junior technical schools which will change status to senior technical schools in the later part of the plan period. At least three junior technical schools will form the clusters for each of the senior technical schools in each district respectively. This Ten Year Plan (2009-2018) is an even bolder one as it provides the road map which challenges several major outcomes:- • Universal Primary Education (UPE) or Universal Basic Education (UBE) by the end of the planned period. • Increased access to Secondary Education. • Major Shift to Technical Vocational Education (TVET) for an alternate pathway. • Strengthening of Flexible, Open and Distance Mode of Education to provide access through to tertiary education. • Strengthening of Management capacity in both the education branch in the districts order to achieve quality Education. This Plan is truly a people’s Plan as demanded through the consultative process. It responds to the call of the wider community sectors and one which all levels of the Government must address. These changes will require support from all sectors of the community - politically, financially and morally. I am proud to be part of the whole partnership with all the stakeholders such as the National Government, the Provincial Government, the Local Level Government, the wider community and as well as the support from the Overseas Donors towards implementing the plan. The Madang Province has 162 languages the largest in Papua New Guinea. This cultural diversity provides enormous challenges for implementing elementary education in our Province. Also many of our people live in small remote villages inland along the Ramu Valley and along the Finisterre Mountains and have missed out on education since independence 31 years ago. This Ten Year Plan marks the beginning of a new thirty years journey for Madang Province. With the main emphasis in 100 percent access in Elementary Education for all six year old in the Province, the introduction of Grade ten Lahara Program in Madang Teachers College for Remote local teachers and the effective quality management practices for our education system, we will strive to provide a better quality education through effective team work for everyone in Madang Province. iv Madang Province according to the plan will take a lead in the Technical Vocational Education Reform initiative which strongly reflects the call from the recipients of the education system in which I wish to strongly call for policy changes to make it work for the people . I firmly believe that we can achieve the objectives of the Plan through honesty, good governance and accountability in the delivery of education services in the Madang Province. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Madang Provincial Education Board, the Provincial Education Consultative Committee and the Education Planning Team for the time taken to produce this document and once again call upon all parties - Governments, Communities and individuals to join heads together and give the utmost support and implement this Plan.

The mission was a result of a request from within the Department of Finance through the First Assistant Secretary for Provincial & District Financial Management Division (PDFMD), Mr Gabi Kila and the team. This is the division where this program (PCaBII) is actually attached with. The mission is also part of the implementation of the PCaB “Exit Strategy” to progressively provide technical support to nearby non PCaB assisted provinces within the region in 2012 on a cost sharing arrangement. Mission objectives The purpose of the trip was to meet the program’s important stakeholders and specifically to identify the areas in financial management (capacity gaps) that require urgent technical support from the PCaB program. Stakeholders meeting The stakeholders whom the program management including the PPII Advisor were able to meet are in three categories. These are: The Provincial and Treasury Staff, Provincial Administration staff and representatives from the Civil Society Organizations (SCOs) in Madang. In this last group (SCOs) we have chosen one international NGO – World Vision and one National NGO- Foundation for People and Community Development. These last meetings with SCOs were in order to get some ideas about the perception of the citizenry with regards to the quality of service delivery provided by government institutions in the province.

  • Of Voting in the Madang Open and Provincial Electorates
    22. Elections and Corruption: The ‘Highlandization’ of Voting in the Madang Open and Provincial Electorates Patrick Matbob Introduction Elections in the coastal areas of Papua New Guinea are generally free, fair and orderly compared to the Highlands provinces. This was again observed during the 2007 election, in which almost all coastal provinces experienced smooth and orderly conduct of elections. However, while most of the seats were declared before the return of writs, Madang was the only coastal province that could not declare its Provincial seat because of a court injunction taken out by some candidates. The return of writs had to be deferred by a week until the court had ruled on the case, subsequently allowing the declaration of Sir Arnold Amet. The court dispute that delayed the declaration of the Madang Provincial seat is symptomatic of the influence that is coming into the province and is affecting local politics. In the past decade an increasing number of candidates originally from the Highlands provinces have been contesting the Madang Open and Madang Provincial electorates (Figures 22.1 and 22.2). These candidates have brought with them the style of politics that is widely practised in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Standish (2002b:2) reports discussion of Highlands-style politics experienced in some coastal electorates in 2002. Madang has recently been experiencing this Highlands style of politics which has affected the electoral process. It includes massive inflation of the electoral roll, multiple voting, the use of large sums of money, and, in some cases, firearms. The so-called ‘highlandisation of coastal politics’ (Standish 2003:131) is created by candidates who are determined to gain public office at all cost and by whatever means.
