The Department of Education in Papua New Guinea observed International Literacy Day with a week-long program held in Northern Province. Details of the program were initially behind a paywall, requiring various subscription options from the Post Courier website to access. These options included daily, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual subscriptions for both web-only and web-plus-eBook access. The announcement appeared originally on the Post Courier news platform. It is unclear from the available text what specific activities comprised the week-long program. The Department of Education’s initiative highlights the continuing importance placed on literacy across Papua New Guinea. Further details about the program in Northern Province remain limited due to access restrictions.
