@pngnri Generally, people in PNG (not just the Highlands) seem to mistrust in government officials dealing with elections. Officials taking bribes in PNG is common knowledge. You can change laws but rot starts with the humans in the syste.
GoPNG should consider allocating more funding and providing more professional counsellors to work with safe houses and healthcare facilities to render counselling services to SARV survivors as highlighted in the respective reports. Read more...lnkd.in/gi92du7h
@SSiaguru @StellaMagPNG @pngnri Of course quality of teaching is very important as well.
@SSiaguru @StellaMagPNG @pngnri No, they are connected. If you become literate and numerate in your mother tongue those skills transfer more easily to other languages. Your brain has been wired to read, write and do numbers in its optimal state which transfers more readily to other languages.
@pngnri sapos ol skulim yumi lo Pidgin, ba yumi kisim gutpla save just like those Asian countries such as Japanese. People have ideas but english is the barrier. It doesn't mean we wouldn't learn english.
@albertschram @pngnri @Bismarck360 I confess to loving the way English expression changes and is used in so many different ways on international social media, despite my having been immersed in the formal side of it as a journalist for 30 years. it’s exciting.
@albertschram @pngnri @Bismarck360 Yes, there are courses available in Australia.
@albertschram @pngnri @Bismarck360 Oh! Many thanks. ! Must get a copy. I do have some old TP primers, but unfortunately not a copy of the Mihaelic dictionary (Post-Courier used it as a reference when I was there).
@PoroMark @pngnri @Bismarck360 There is also an online course, but I am not sure if it is any good utalk.com/en/plans/tok-p…
@PoroMark @pngnri @Bismarck360 Things have improved. There is a little Oxford dictionary and complete course book with a CD. Here is the dictionary on Amazon amazon.com/Papua-Guinea-P…
@albertschram @pngnri @Bismarck360 A Tok Pisin dictionary produced by Fr Mihaelic (sp?) used to be regarded as a standard many years ago but the language both written and spoken is so extraordinarily volatile that I doubt the effort would be worthwhile over anything beyond a brief moment.
@pngnri @Bismarck360 Similarly, it would be good to teach how to write and speak English and Tok Pisin properly, so at to have standard languages.
@StellaMagPNG @pngnri And, I agree in principle; however, I believe there a too many moving parts in the mechanics that your studies describe. You’ll have to forgive me my cynicism, but, we’re discussing a rather large “if” in the abstract; an “if” of Spartan proportions. I want to be wrong.
@SSiaguru @pngnri Maybe both are possible.. Studies show that learning to read in your first language improves English literacy and general education outcomes… sil.org/system/files/r…
That’s a hard one. 🇵🇬’s literacy rate is also a concern and has been for a number of years. We should properly address one or the other; I think it pure fantasy to believe we can do both.
The best strategy to preserve #PNG’s languages is to embed them in the national #education system using an approach that captures the development of #vernacular #languages and their #cultures. – PNG NRI’s Senior Research Fellow Dr. Kilala Devette-Chee in an interview with #EMTV
Legally speaking, this is true. What we need is buy-in from the banking sector, who have their own reasons for being hesitant.
Do you know that #customary #land #leases can be made bankable? Tune in to #NBC Radio at 9.15am for the answer to that question from @pngnri’s Research Fellow Ms. @LogeaNao. The discussion will be based on Ms. Nao’s recently published #research paper: bit.ly/2WgRl3l
This is a promising development. I hope that NRI research will focus on savings instruments for low-income people and on appropriate regulation to support small-scale, deposit-taking financial institutions serving the poor, rather than on micro-lending 'schemes'.
