  • Case Study of the Education Response to HIV & AIDS in Papua New Guinea

    • Adoption of a comprehensive approach which addresses the needs of pupils and staff as well as the projected impact of the epidemic on the education system
    • Demonstrated commitment to a comprehensive prevention message which includes condoms for young people depending on their choice and needs
    • HIV and AIDS mainstreamed in the curriculum from grade 5 through 12 as part of the overall education curriculum reform process
    • Integration of HIV and AIDS in pre-service curricula ensuring that all teachers graduating from 2007 onwards have 36 hours of training on HIV and AIDS
    • Integration of HIV and AIDS responsibilities into school learning improvement plans, teacher in-service plans and capacity building for communities and school boards
    • Development of quality materials and supplementary resources for teachers and pupils
    • Commitment to highly participatory approaches in developing and rolling out policies and resources which embrace internal and external stakeholders at various levels
