"The training has enriched and empowered us to face new challenges," Rodney said.

"Therefore we need to review, align, realign and reposition ourselves from Outcome Based Educatoon to Standard Based Education to raise standards in all subjects but more specifically English, mathematics and science in primary school starting from elementary level.

"We the facilitators believe that all off you are well informed and prepared as agents of change of education to roll out Standard Based Education for the benefit of our  children come 2019."

Rodney encouraged all  teachers to go out and face the new challenges that they would encounter.

Bulolo school inspector Mufuanuc Zurete was away in Garaina to oversee a similar training.

He relayed his message through his wife Elizabeth Zurete to congratulate the teachers for the completion of the training.

"The implementation of SBE in 2019 rests with the teachers to adopt to the new curriculum and the phasing out of the old curriculum,"Zurete said.

"Teachers who have not attended the weeklong in-service training will not receive any teaching postings in 2019."

Head teacher Mathew Humango thanked the three facilitators for their tireless effort in imparting the new SBE during the weeklong training.

He said the teachers had grasped the new curriculum and were ready to implement it in 2019.

Teachers came from Pinetop, Regina, Nami, Riverside, Aiyaiti and Wau primary schools.
