PNG CORE ENHANCES LITERACY AT EFOGI ADVENTIST PRIMARY SCHOOL

The PNG Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE) has made a contribution to Efogi Adventist Primary School to help enhance students’ educational experience.

The donation, handed over on Monday, February 10, 2025, includes books such as “The Crocodile Prize,” “Hunting for Minerals and Oil,” “It’s a Gold Mine,” and guides on starting a business for both teachers and students.

Efogi Adventist Primary School, located along the Kokoda Track in Central Province, has been facing challenges due to the absence of a dedicated library, limiting students’ access to a variety of reading materials.

To address this, the school administration, led by Head Teacher Mr. Japheth Sie, has encouraged teachers to create classroom bookshelves. This initiative has helped promote a reading culture among students despite limited resources.

The support from PNG CORE will help expand students’ access to learning materials, contributing to improved literacy and academic development.

The school has an enrolment of 128 students for the year 2025.

PNG CORE’s donation aligns with its commitment to supporting education and literacy in Papua New Guinea. The organization believes that access to quality reading materials is crucial for students’ academic and personal development.

PNGCORE Chief Operating Officer Mrs. Pansy Taueni-Sialis stated, this donation is part of their commitment to supporting communities. By providing these resources, they hope to contribute to a brighter future for the students of Efogi Adventist Primary School.
