Background
The Education Reform and the National Education Plan (2005 – 2014) have been developed to produce an education system that meets the needs of Papua New Guineans in today’s challenging world and in the future. At Kopkop College the first level of Education is the early Childhood Education, followed by the Primary and the Secondary which provide for grades 7 to 12.
The foundations for the education structure which Kopkop College has adopted, lies in the promotion of culture, values, attitudes, knowledge and a wide range of skills appropriate for Papua New Guinean society along with the need for international competitiveness. It believes that students must begin their education in the English Language.
The purpose of the current Education Reform is to provide a relevant and quality education for all young Papua New Guineans, while at the same time providing further educational opportunities and training for those who are able to make use of it.
Primary Curriculum Overview ECCE - GRADE SIX
The Kopkop College Curriculum is organized into five learning areas: Culture and Community, Language, Mathematics, Personal Development and Science. A learning area is a group of subjects with compatible knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
All subjects from Early Childhood to Upper Secondary are assigned to one of these learning areas. Some subjects draw upon knowledge, skills and attitudes from more than one learning area (e.g. Environmental Studies), but they have been placed in the learning area whose content is judged most similar. The table below shows the overall organization of learning areas and subjects for each level of schooling.
