In Papua New Guinea, schools were closed on 24 March 2020 disrupting the education for all 2.4 million students. In response, the National Department of Education (NDoE) urgently scaled-up its approach to support the continuation of learning to mitigate the impacts of school closures on the learning outcomes, health, wellbeing and development of the school-age population. With UNICEF’s financial support, continuity of learning was supported with the establishment of an ICT platform offering online teaching and learning for nationwide daily TV and radio broadcasts of lessons for primary and secondary schools benefitting over 370,000 children, including more than 168,000 girls.
