This course is a part of the new Flexible, Open and Distance Education curriculum. The learning outcomes are student-centred and allows for them to be demonstrated and assessed. It maintains the rationale, goals, aims and principles of the national curriculum and identifies the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that students should achieve. This is a provision by Flexible, Open and Distance Education as an alternative pathway of formal education. The course promotes Papua New Guinea values and beliefs which are found in our Constitution, Government Policies and Reports. It is developed in line with the National Education Plan (2005 -2014) and addresses an increase in the number of school leavers affected by the lack of access into secondary and higher educational institutions. Flexible, Open and Distance Education curriculum is guided by the Department of Education‟s Mission which is fivefold: To facilitate and promote the integral development of every individual To develop and encourage an education system satisfies the requirements of Papua New Guinea and its people To establish, preserve and improve standards of education throughout Papua New Guinea To make the benefits of such education available as widely as possible to all of the people To make the education accessible to the poor and physically, mentally and socially handicapped as well as to those who are educationally disadvantaged. The college is enhanced to provide alternative and comparable pathways for students and adults to complete their education through a one system, many pathways and same outcomes. It is our vision that Papua New Guineans‟ harness all appropriate and affordable technologies to pursue this program. I commend all those teachers, curriculum writers, university lecturers and many others who have contributed in developing this course.

  • MAE KOIME -‐ Athletics Profile Following the World Athletics Day in 2
    MAE KOIME - Athletics Profile Following the World Athletics Day in 2001, Mae Koime was selected as part of a small international group of young athletes to attend the World Championships in Athletics in Edmonton, Canada. They were to be the guests of the I.A.A.F. She had a VIP pass to watch the very best athletes in the world compete against each other and record fantastic performances. From then on Mae’s heart was set on doing the best that she could in the sport to represent and actually compete at these big global meetings. She had already tasted international travel the year before when she competed in the Oceania Championships in Adelaide, just before the Sydney Olympic Games, but her appetite for greater things was now beginning to emerge. Over the next decade Mae had the chance to compete in some of the great stadiums in the world. In 2002 she had the opportunity to travel to the “Home of Sprinting” – Kingston Jamaica – to compete in the World Junior Championships, where she qualified for the semi-final of the 100m event. The following year it was to Paris for the World Championships, and then in 2004 to the birthplace of the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games - Athens, Greece where Mae competed in the 100m event. 2005 saw her participate in the World Championships in Helsinki Finland, and in 2006 it was closer to home with the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne at the famed Melbourne Cricket Ground. In Melbourne she progressed to the 2nd round of the 100m and joined the other PNG sprinters to finish fifth in the 4 x 400m Relay.

With Esther Bralyn Wani Free Monthly English edition - Issue 17 August 2015 LOs in dark after 100th LNG export PNG LNG landowners are still anxiously waiting for their share of benefit from the sale of the liq- uefied natural gas. After the 100th LNG cargo export, landowners are being kept in sus- pense while the K43 billion gas commercialisation project’s co-ven- ture equity partners have already benefitted from the sale of LNG. ExxonMobil said in a statement dated June 15 that the project had so far exported the 100th cargo of liquefied natural gas, just over one year on from the start of export op- erations. The LNG carrier Methane Spirit had transported the cargo bound for Japan for Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc. (Tepco). Tepco is the same customer who received the maiden LNG cargo on-board the Spirit of Hela in May 2014.
