Papua New Guinea Vision 2050 envisions an educated populace contributing to national development, which inherently necessitates the improvement of English language proficiency as a tool for communication and learning. The PNG National Literacy Policy aims to enhance literacy rates across the nation, recognizing that fostering English skills is crucial for accessing educational and economic opportunities (Papua New Guinea Department of Education, 2020). This alignment emphasizes the need for an effective educational framework that promotes English as a second language, enabling citizens to engage in global dialogue and improve their socio-economic conditions. By addressing literacy in both native languages and English, the policy underpins the broader goals of Vision 2050, ensuring that Papua New Guinea can participate meaningfully in the global economy and enhance the quality of life for its citizens.
