What we do

We publish quality school books to support teachers and students in Papua New Guinea. Our books align with the PNG Department of Education’s curriculum. We also run teacher training workshops, especially at early year levels. Our priority is literacy. 

We have extensive experience publishing educational books. We have strong and sustainable local partnerships. We work closely with the curriculum officers in Waigani.

We also work closely with teachers nationwide. PNG writers, reviewers and illustrators ensure that our books meet the needs of teachers and students in urban and rural Papua New Guinea. Our books enable teachers to teach the PNG curriculum.
