The Papua New Guinea National Education Plan 2020-2029 emphasizes the enhancement of English language proficiency as a critical component for educational development and national progress. This alignment is supported by the PNG National Literacy Policy, which advocates for the integration of English language instruction across curricula to improve literacy rates and communicative competence (Department of Education, 2020). By prioritizing English as a medium of instruction, the National Education Plan aims to equip students with essential language skills that facilitate access to information, promote critical thinking, and foster socio-economic participation (Department of Education, 2020). This strategic focus on English not only aligns with the overarching goals of the National Education Plan but also reinforces the frameworks established by the National Literacy Policy to elevate the educational standards across Papua New Guinea.
