Gidobada Elementary School in Rigo District, Papua New Guinea, reflects resilience and commitment to education despite decades of minimal resources and support. Senior teacher Huau Sere Raka, once a student, continues to teach multi-grade classes alongside Head Teacher Daisy Lega, ensuring every child’s right to learn. Established in 1997, the school struggled with poor infrastructure until 2025, when the Partnerships for Improving Education (PIE), supported by World Vision and the PNG-Australia Partnership, delivered vital upgrades through AQEFA funding. Renovated classrooms, improved facilities, and essential materials transformed learning conditions, boosted attendance, and restored pride among students and teachers. PIE also strengthened teacher capacity and inclusive practices across Central Province, supporting hundreds of schools, including those in remote areas. With renewed hope, Gidobada now looks toward future developments, including a library. The school’s journey highlights how targeted support can revive communities, strengthen education systems, and empower local teachers to shape a better future for children, families, and long-term community development outcomes success.

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.
