The Partnerships for Improving Education (PIE) Program is transforming learning outcomes in Abau District, Central Province, by addressing long-standing challenges of remoteness, limited infrastructure, and access to quality education. Implemented with World Vision Papua New Guinea and supported by the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia, the program focuses on strengthening early childhood and lower primary education. At Kupiano Elementary School, PIE support through AQEFA funding enabled the construction of student desks and chairs using local expertise, creating a more comfortable and dignified learning environment. Across the district, schools are benefiting from improved classrooms, gender-sensitive facilities, safe water access, and enhanced teaching practices through ongoing training and monitoring. These interventions are leading to increased student attendance, engagement, and retention, particularly for girls and children with disabilities. By empowering teachers, supporting communities, and improving school infrastructure, the PIE Program is helping build stronger foundations for lifelong learning and creating better futures for children across Abau District.
