The best way to sustain any effort is to publish the work. Learnt this from bosses Denison Jayasooria, James Ryan Raj and my mentor Arunan Giri. Publishing allow us to record the methods, challenges and best practices which can be taken as a guide book for future efforts. You no need to repeat mistakes and make a way, further forward and not starting from level 1 again. Good thing living in APPGM-SDG Secretariat is, we publish more. The photo is about the project that I lead in 2019-2021, together with many, Jom-TVET national initiative.

Ready, set, read! This summer's reading challenge 📚 This article will show you how to get involved from wherever you are this break. Let us know what books your going to read this summer below 😀

This year, the P2 project was developed to include a supplementary activity booklet. Working with our partner schools, the P2 pupils create their own story book related to their class topic. The children work with an artist and author to come up with story ideas, locations and characters. Once their story has been finalised, an activity book consisting of 8 literacy activities was created. A few examples include word searches, crosswords and definition matches. Schools have said this is a great addition as they can use it as finisher tasks, for literacy lessons and for homework, to name some examples from feedback.

National Book Week PNG is recognising the importance of reading as a path to quest of knowledge and entertainment by celebrating the National Book Week 📚 throughout the country this week. Mt. Hagen Primary School 🏫 is also observing this significant event by suspending classes today (Friday , 08/09/23) to celebrate this event. Reading is important because it develops your mind and gives you excessive knowledge and lessons of life. It helps you understand the world around you better. It keeps your mind active and enhances your creative ability. It also improves your vocabulary and develops your communication skills. Such events will remind people of all age groups to value the importance of reading and foster reading culture at family unit so we can contribute to the government's vision 2050 to improve the literacy rate in PNG- Clause 1.17.2.2; One hundred percent literacy for the adult population over 15 years of age. Educated and informed citizens will make responsible decision in life that will contribute to peace and prosperity.
