AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEducation Digital Push: Papua New Guinea’s Teaching Service Commission has launched a new Corporate Plan, a Teaching Service Development Plan, and an official website in Port Moresby—aimed at modernising teacher administration and cutting the need for rural educators to travel just to get forms and updates. Teacher Services Online: The site lets teachers download appointment and leave forms, access policies and circulars, and receive updates directly. Regional Friendship: Central Province and the Cook Islands renewed their long-running ties with a Sister Province Partnership Arrangement signed during the Melanesian Oceans Summit, targeting culture, youth exchanges, tourism, climate action, agriculture, and trade. Marine News for Travellers: A new decade-long study says whale sharks roam much farther across the Indo-Pacific than previously thought—spanning PNG and other countries—strengthening the case for wider marine protection. Security Update: PNG police officers deployed to the Solomon Islands were disarmed, stood down, and face deportation after an alleged Tenaru rampage. Tourism & Nature: PNG also flagged plans to protect a coral-rich “marine highway” for sharks, dolphins, whales, and rays, while a mangrove educational boardwalk is set to open in July.
